Description Joseph Thomson 2011-10-22 22:26:12 UTC
Tested on Ubuntu 11.10

When alt-tabbing to a window with a newly opened dialog window, the window (or at least the buttons) does not have keyboard focus.  This is best demonstrated with an example:

1. Open the same file (any text file) in both GVim and gedit
2. Modify and save the file contents in gedit
3. Alt-tab to GVim (a "W11:Warning" dialog window will appear)
4. Try to close the dialog box by pressing the Return key

What happens:
Nothing.

What should happen:
The "OK" button on the dialog window should have keyboard focus, and pressing the Return key should close the dialog window.
Comment 1 Joseph Thomson 2011-11-28 18:49:00 UTC
It should be noted that I turned off the default new-style dialogs (because they can't be moved, which should probably be a bug in itself).
Comment 2 Florian Müllner 2014-04-28 14:54:01 UTC
This was fixed several times, last time in bug 719824.
