GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 131152
Command line applet does not take focus
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Description of Problem: You can click in the textfield of the command line applet, but it does NOT take focus. Focus remains whereever focus was before clicking on it. It has'nt crashed, because preferences & history do work. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Click on command line applet 2. 3. Actual Results: Does nothing. Expected Results: Focus goes to textfield How often does this happen? Always Additional Information: This is Gentoo, using Gnome 2.4.1_p1 and Command Line 2.4.1 The Command Line applet is not listed in the list, so I selected general...
This problem occurs in Fedora Core 1's Gnome distribution, as well. There are rare cases where the applet has keyboard focus (e.g., before other windows open, or if you use the keyboard shortcut to toggle focus between the desktop and the panel), but I can't reliably reproduce either of those workarounds.
This is an odd bug, is it still around ?
I dont see this bug. I'm using RH9.
I dont see this bug. I'm using Gnome 2.6.1
Do u still see this Lennart. Dennis, Can this bug be closed!!!
Sounds like bug 115072, with either sloppy or mouse focus. It was fixed for Gnome 2.6, and it was a metacity bug. (Caused by trying to fix a bug affecting Mozilla...) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 115072 ***
