Mouse grab by a nautilus modal window durring a drop
Last modified: 2005-08-26 21:56:06 UTC
Please describe the problem: Nautilus grab the mouse when rising a modal dialog as popup when something wrong append (like trying to delete a file, if you're not allowed). Durring a drap&drop, you will not be able to release the "drag&drop" (because of the modal dialog), and you cannot click on cancel or ignore, because of drop cursor. Then, "desktop mouse locked" Steps to reproduce: 1. Start delete files with nautilus, knowing that you havent the right (unix right) to do for some. 2. Start an "Drag and Drop" of an (other) file, on the desktop 3. Don't release the button (don't drop) until nautilus show a popup modal dialog that tel that you cannot delete a file. 4. Nautilus show his popup (modal dialog to tell you that you cannot remove some file), and you cannot click on Cancel or Ignore, and you cannot drop file file. 5. That's all, the mouse is grabed Actual results: Mouse definitively grabed, no click possible on the desktop Expected results: Nautilus should show a dialog always over the others, but no grab the mouse Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
Thanks for your bug report! I can still verify this issue with Nautilus 2.11. CCing GTK+. Maybe this can/should be tackled on GTK+ level?
