Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz
In Eclipse, the Find/Replace dialog automatically gains focus when it is opened, or when you press Ctrl+F while it is already open. However, Compiz considers this latter case to be focus stealing (even when focus stealing prevention is set to "Low"), despite the fact that both windows are part of the same app and the transfer is in response to a user action. Repro steps: 1) Enable Compiz, then install compizconfig-settings-manager and enable focus stealing prevention in System -> Preferences -> Advanced Desktop Effects Settings -> General Options -> Focus & Raise Behaviour. 2) Install Eclipse, open it, and open an editor window. 3) Press Ctrl+F to show the Find/Replace dialog. => The dialog gets focus, as expected. 4) Click on the editor to transfer focus back to it. 5) Press Ctrl+F again with the Find/Replace dialog already open. => Although the "Find:" text field gets focus, the actual Find/Replace window does not, so that if you try to type then the keypresses go nowhere. Expected: When Ctrl+F is pressed, the Find/Replace window should always get focus (except perhaps when using very strong focus stealing prevention) I don't know whose bug this is, so I'm opening it against both the Eclipse and Compiz packages. I know you could argue that this is how focus stealing prevention is supposed to work, but it is definitely a bug to consider this focus stealing on the "Low" setting when it is so obviously not focus stealing. Also opened with Eclipse upstream at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=235965. Note that I have actually installed Eclipse directly from eclipse.org (Version: 3.3.1.1, Build id: M20071023-1652), not the Ubuntu repos, but I'm assuming that this would affect Ubuntu's package too. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.04 Release: 8.04 $ apt-cache policy compiz compiz: Installed: 1:0.7.4-0ubuntu6 Candidate: 1:0.7.4-0ubuntu6 Version table: *** 1:0.7.4-0ubuntu6 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: eclipse Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: eclipse (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: eclipse (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Bug watch added: Eclipse bugs #235965 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=235965 ** Also affects: eclipse via https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=235965 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- Transfer of focus to Find/Replace dialog in Eclipse is considered focus stealing by Compiz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237819 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
