GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 660108
Do not make text in prompt dialog selectable
Last modified: 2011-11-14 08:35:49 UTC
I was playing with autologin, and so got the "unlock your keyring" dialog. I clicked on it, right where the label is, and started typing my password. This didn't work as the label in the dialog is selectable, which means that clicking there focuses the window, but also moves the focus to the label instead of leaving it to the entry.
Created attachment 197452 [details] [review] Do not make label selectionnable in prompt dialog I just opened the file in glade and changed the property, but this results in a bigger diff than I'd like. Anyway, that should help.
Is it also a gnome-keyring problem if that dialog doesn't have the focus after auto-login? Ideally I shouldn't need to take my hand off the keyboard at all.
It's also a problem, but that's a different thing :-)
Vincent, that patch changes a lot of stuff, so I'd be hesitant to apply it to a stable branch. I realize that's just glade being annoying, but any chance for a smaller patch?
Created attachment 200964 [details] [review] Do not make label selectionnable in prompt dialog This is smaller, but untested. Although I fail to see how it'd break things.
Thanks. Applied to gnome-keyring master. I'm in the process of rewriting how the prompting works, so it integrates with gnome-shell (with fallback that is a normal dialog). I'll try and remember not to make text selectable in any prompts there as well.
