Revert "title-box: Do not propagate button press events in title mode" (1.19 KB, patch)

Description Marius Gedminas 2016-06-13 06:46:36 UTC 
Steps to reproduce

1. Middle-click the titlebar of an Epiphany window

Expected behaviour:

- Epiphany window is sent to the background

Actual behaviour:

- Nothing happens.
Comment 1 Michael Catanzaro 2016-06-13 15:37:46 UTC 
I'm confused, why would you expect this behavior? I tested several apps and middle clicking the title bar doesn't do anything for any of them. What desktop environment are you using -- does your window manager implement this behavior? What happens if you middle click the title bar in another app that uses GtkHeaderBar (e.g. nautilus)?
Comment 2 Marius Gedminas 2016-06-13 16:09:59 UTC 
I'm using GNOME 3.20 (with gnome-shell).

The action of middle-clicking can be customized with GNOME Tweak Tool, which changes the org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences action-middle-click-titlebar setting.  dconf-editor tells me "lower" is the default value for this setting!

Nautilus and gnome-terminal both lower the window when I middle-click their headerbars.  AFAIU this is implemented in the standard GtkHeaderBar widget.

Experimenting a little bit more I see that if I click near the edges of Epiphany's headerbar, I get the expected lowering action, but if I click on the text in the middle, or in the margins around it (which are part of the EphyTitleBox, according to GTK Inspector), then nothing happens.
Comment 3 Michael Catanzaro 2016-06-13 17:19:49 UTC 
OK, I wonder if I broke it in bug #744307. If you happen to be a developer, you could check by reverting that patch. Otherwise... we want to remove that title box anyway, so this will get fixed when that happens.
Comment 4 Marius Gedminas 2016-06-14 11:31:31 UTC 
Yes, reverting commit 25df8678f43c26f990b07a758516585a91811df6 makes this bug go away.
Comment 5 Michael Catanzaro 2016-06-14 14:47:45 UTC 
Well since it didn't fix anything, let's do that.
