Wayland: Popover(menus?) don't show keyboard focus
Last modified: 2016-04-27 11:33:10 UTC
Easy to reproduce: Use keynav to navigate to any GtkMenuButton in the widget factory, press return. You now see a popover menu. Use up/down keys. No visible keyboard focus shows up. The set-focus event of the GtkWindow still gets emitted and even with a GtkModelButton, but using up/down doesn't change the model button, the event just gets emitted with the same GtkModelButton over and over. This seems to be only happening on wayland, but I'm not sure if running with GDK_BACKEND=x11 in a wayland session qualifies as a good indicator for a proper X11 session (it's going to be xwayland after all, right?).
Dupe of or simply related to bug 762756 ?
Very likely related, yes. Not sure if a direct dupe or not. That's more your call than it's mine ;)
Turns out to be a dupe, it is the keyboard capability grab in gtkbutton.c which triggers the same unfocused situation. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 762756 ***
