[opensuse] Yast bad manners
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Situation: 10.2, gnome. I fire up Yast, then software management (for instance). As I know it is going to take some time, I minimize it and continue typing elsewhere... and hey! Yast pops up un-minimized, grabbing the focus, and not yet ready, as it is loading catalogs. I minimize it again... and again it un-minimizes automatically. This did not happen with 10.1. Three times at least has Yast the bad manners of not staying put, minimized out of the way :-( Is this a bug? Is it intentional (aka feature)? Can I somehow tell gnome not to allow this pesky behaviour? To be sure, it is not the only app that does this - OO does similarly - but today I'm picking on yast O:-) - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFF2Y8KtTMYHG2NR9URAkhvAJ416eJ6/EiML/AT1mRLGBpERChgMACdFF1W g6AB56qUYSF6Z/4DzG8ryZA= =7/xL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Is this a bug?
While we are on the subject of lame programming in yast let me bitch about /etc/sysconfig editor in TEXT MODE yast. Every time you down arrow through the several hundred entries you get a flashing tipple paint of the entire screen. Don't tell me the programmer didn't notice this!!! Its really annoying to be working on a machine a thousand miles away and have to wait out that flashing. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

DURN, you're right! I can now really dread helping my daughter set up her new 10.2 and Verizon DSL in Virginia in a few days...:-( I think that deserves a bug report...feel up to it?

I'll check bugzilla and see if its mentioned. I've done a couple others, I just thought it was so obvious somebody was sure to have reported it before now. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
