GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 438483
scrolling on window list creates false urgency hints
Last modified: 2007-05-19 20:48:38 UTC
Please describe the problem: When you mouse-wheel over the window-list, you can move between windows nicely. But, if the scrolling is done fast enough, some windows get urgency hints and start flashing for no reason. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a few windows on the same desktop. (e.g. 5) 2. Select the left-most window. 3. Scroll down (mousewheel) over the window-list really quickly 4. Scroll back and forth quickly for more Actual results: Some windows start flashing in the taskbar. Expected results: Windows get switched and they do not randomly get urgency hints. Does this happen every time? Whenever the scrolling is fast enough. Other information: It looks like there's a race condition between the window getting focused after being moved on top and when the window list receives another scroll request to go to the next window.
