GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 137712
color picker pops up behind preferences
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Right click on panel, select properties, then select background tab. Choose "solid color", then click on color button to bring up the color picker. It pops up behind the preferences thingy. I think the solution is to make it so that the panel preferences window isn't always on top since windows like that are annoying anyways. (I think they're called modeless dialogs? Maybe I'm wrong).
Forgot to add that I'm using gnome-panel 2.5.91.
If you're using a metacity compiled after March 1st, please add a comment to bug #96140 explaining the situation. It should be fixed, though. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 96140 ***
