Description Christopher Barrington-Leigh 2006-06-16 18:47:07 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Clicking in the dictionary applet's definition window does not give it focus. So keyboard navigation (arrowkeys), the "quit" key ESC, etc, etc, cannot be used. 
In fact the only way to close the window seems to be to click on the dictionary icon.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enter a word ("dictionary") to lookup in the panel applet.
2. click on some other window
3. try clicking in the definition window of the applet


Actual results:
focus cannot be regained. I can highlight text and can scroll with the mouse, but keyboard strokes go to whatever application previously had the focus.

Expected results:
regain focus. 

Does this happen every time?
yes
