GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 709853
Text input does not receive focus when clicking on chat notifications
Last modified: 2014-01-22 17:19:13 UTC
When clicking on an iconized chat notification in the message tray, the text input in the chat popup does not immediately receive focus anymore, but has to be focused manually by clicking on it.
Just ran into this as well with Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 + Gnome 3.10. I will say that on my system if I get a new message and I bring up the notification when it's in the center of the screen, the focus in the text box works fine. It's when I bring up the message tray and click on the icon of a chat notification (as described above) that the focus requires an actual click in the text box to gain focus.
I can confirm this issue: Whenever a notification shows up, and I put the mouse over it, text input takes the focus, which is fine. However, if I decide to reply later and access the notification via the icon on the message tray, the text box does not have focus.
I can confirm this issue. Same problem with Super+M. When the notification shows up (when the notification is still at the center of the screen) "Super+N" or put the mouse over the notification works (text input takes the focus). When the notification is in the message tray "Super+M" or clicking on the notification icon doesn't work (notification is expanded but text input doesn't take the focus). Archlinux, extra/gnome-shell 3.10.1-1
Created attachment 263472 [details] [review] messageTray: Only attempt to grab the summary box pointer after showing it For mysterious reasons I'm not sure of myself, navigate_focus will only focus mapped actors. So, make sure the widget is showing before navigating to it.
