GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 725811
Language popover should close when a new language is selected
Last modified: 2014-03-06 18:55:25 UTC
If you choose a new language by clicking on it or pressing Enter then the statusbar updates to the new language but unlike a popup menu the popover remains open. It feels funny having to close it with Escape if I'm using the keyboard as I'm not cancelling anything. There is a similar problem with the tab popover but that's complicated by the fact that the user might want to change more than one setting before the popover closes.
Good catch! This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
