Description Frances Keenan 2004-10-05 14:16:16 UTC 
Some User Interface changes have been made to GOK which have caused
functionality problems.

-Activate the 'Bottom Panel' and select Launch.
-The user is presented with 3 options : 'click', 'press', and 'release'
-selecting any of these options does nothing.
-the user is unable to activate any options on the Bottom Panel
-'click', 'press', and 'release' options are not working, so the user cannot
navigate beyond this point using GOK.

Before these User Interface changes, once a user selected Launch, they were
shown the list from the Launch Menu.
Comment 1 Frances Keenan 2004-10-05 14:18:58 UTC 
This was found in the Solaris nightly build from 4th Oct 2004.
It is expected this bug will be present in Cinnabar Build_20.
Comment 2 David Bolter 2004-10-05 14:24:15 UTC 
Strange.  Sound like a regression that might be caused by the fix for bug
151417.  But in that case I would expect the actions to work... are you using
the core pointer to operate GOK in this situation.

Either way, I think showing the actions in this case is unecessary.
Comment 3 Frances Keenan 2004-10-05 14:45:31 UTC 
No, I am using a 2nd mouse to activate GOK.
Comment 4 David Bolter 2004-10-05 14:48:14 UTC 
And the second mouse does not send core events right?  Activating "click" does
nothing?

I think one potential fix here would be to remove the second and third actions
from the Launch widget.  I'm not sure this is ideal.  We could try some
heuristic in GOK to ignore what GOK perceives as redundant actions... this would
avoid GOK building an actions keyboard in this case.

Frances are you able to apply Bill's patch:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=32248&action=view
(from bug 154570)

I'd like to confirm that this allows you to select the click action.

Comment 7 bill.haneman 2004-10-05 16:00:03 UTC 
The 'UI changes' are perhaps better described as behavioral changes, as the
basic visual UI is the same.

Comment 9 David Bolter 2004-10-08 13:19:44 UTC 
Just a note on this closed bug to say that bug 154604 has a patch which might
also be helpful here.
Comment 10 David Bolter 2004-10-08 14:15:26 UTC 
Bill, Frances needs a nightly build or a package including your fix for 154570
to test.
Comment 11 bill.haneman 2004-10-11 16:47:05 UTC 
this is fixed in the recent nightly build, and in cvs.
Comment 12 bill.haneman 2004-10-11 16:47:27 UTC 
BTW it's fixed in the respin too.
