[Bug 326158] New: GTK-YaST constantly steals focus
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=326158 Summary: GTK-YaST constantly steals focus Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: francisg@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- I'm not sure whether this should just be filed under gnome (metacity), but anyway: We all have 2-3 repos enabled, and refreshing these brings up a million progress dialogs (which is the real problem, as well) when it refreshes and parses the cache, so we normally let it do its thing and load while we're working on other stuff. This isn't really possible with the GTK-YaST because it will always steal the focus. Even if you have it minimised (and this is the issue) it will still pop the window up and take focus. You can't really keep typing, because it may pop up and you'll hit "abort" by accident. So, expected behaviour: when you minimise YaST, for it to not keep popping up every time it wants to show a new progress dialog. -- 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.

I was going to submit a bug on this as well - not only is it an annoying bug, but if I'm working on something and I happen to hit enter just as one of these windows pops up, I end up canceling something I didn't intend to cancel.
I was going to suggest as a possible solution a progress bar instead as per Jonas Björk's suggestion on 2007-10-06 09:09:02 MST. To me that seems a much better solution than constantly creating and destroying windows to tell me it's doing something - especially since those popups tend to disappear before I have a chance to read them anyways. Pop something up if there's an error, but not to give me a status as to what's going on.
Check this out: http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/bweber/entry/nicer_yast_progress/ Which was originally posted https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=326158#c12 Hopefully it'll be fully implemented into 11.0. I would love to see it changed / updated for 10.3, but doubtfully. -- 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.

I don't know how it reached the stable release with no one noticing it.
because everbody is using a fast machine nowadays and if it`s slow, then it must be the machine not being tuned optimally. software mostly gets optimized to that degree, that its usable on a fast machine. it`s seldom being optimized further. guess what a java programmer tells me if i tell him that his trivial little tool needs a little bit too much ressources for doing such simple task? i get some "so what? buy another gig of ram or use a faster pc".
It seems this bug has been fixed. so, how can i fix it on my system? ;)

Back to the original bug. I don't think it should be discussed even. This is a major issue of 10.3. Given that fact that there is a fix and there is online_update, it should be released. If the suse-developers give us explanation here how to update needed components manually, I volunteer to test it and for others that might be enough.
Dear opensuse developers, please explain whats the plan with this.
I totally agree with this. Why we have to wait for 11.0. If there is a fix, it should be released. Is not the slowness issue what it really bothers me, but the pop ups. This is very, very annoying. -- 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.

We do have a fix, we've been figuring out how risky it is to ship however.
How many people complained about the previous behaviour? I'm really curious if you are using your own programs, because IMHO this bug makes installing or updating software with Yast unusuable. And I do understand that you probably see the current behaviour as a feature. -- 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.

With regard to fixing it, one way to go is by distributing a Metacity patch through YOU. Federico Quintero seems to say in bug 331835, comment 17 that he did so. I guess I misread that. Federico?
Argh - my bad, sorry. I submitted the Metacity package with the fix to the build system, but forgot to go through the process of requesting an online update. This should be done tomorrow. -- 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.
