[Bug 562266] New: Window with notification doesn't appear if on a different workspace using multiple monitors
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=562266 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=562266#c0 Summary: Window with notification doesn't appear if on a different workspace using multiple monitors Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: aschneider@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Community User Blocker: --- PROBLEM STATEMENT: If an open window receives a notification while you are on a different workspace, when you click on the window in the Gnome Window List, it is not displayed. You have to switch back to the workspace where the window resides to view it. PLATFORM/CONFIGURATION: opensuse 11.2 32 bit (with updates as of Dec 10, 2009) GNOME desktop environment dual displays REPRO: 1. Setup dual displays (I am using an nvidia driver with Xinerama). 2. Open a chat/IM program that uses window notification (Pidgin or Groupwise Messenger. Pidgin uses the Message Notification plugin with "set window manager URGENT" checked). 3. Open a conversation on workspace 1 4. Switch to workspace 2 5. When the open conversation receives a new message, it flashes in the Window List 6. Click the application in the window list. RESULTS: I tested this using a single display (on a laptop). When I click the application, it takes me back to workspace 1 so I can view the message. When I do this same thing in my dual display setup, nothing happens when I click the application in the window list. EXPECTED RESULTS: It should take me to the desktop where the notified window resides. Using opensuse 10.3, I had the same dual monitor setup and didn't have this issue, but clicking the notified window would open it on the active workspace rather than taking you to the workspace where it resided. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I think it is because of issues with the way window focus is handled in 11.2. It will work fine one minute, then it won't the next. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This also has nothing to do with dual displays. It has to do with a window being minimized when it is set to urgent. If you are on a different workspace than when it was minimized, clicking it does nothing. Here are the correct steps to reproduce this annoying problem: 1. Open a chat/IM program that uses window notification (Pidgin or Groupwise Messenger. Pidgin uses the Message Notification plugin with "set window manager URGENT" checked). 2. Open a conversation on workspace 1 and Minimize it 3. Switch to workspace 2 4. When the open conversation receives a new message, it flashes in the Window List 5. Click the application in the window list. This problem also exists on OpenSuse 11.3. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Not likely, you have already upgraded to newer versions of openSUSE, which had a lot more bug fixes. We believe that this specific bug has been fixed during one of the release cycles; as such, I close the bug as 'FIXED'. Should you be able to reproduce this issue on a newer openSUSE version, please feel to report it again. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
