The game Savage 2 loses focus when I use sound control keys

[Loris Zinsou]

Binary package hint: unity

This is a bug in Unity 3.4.6

This is one of the few linux games where you can control the sound after launching the game when it's fullsreen.
If I use the sound control keys under a standard gnome session, the game is not supposed to lose focus.

In Unity, if I use these keys, I can't click in the game anymore : the game is fullscreen but has lost focus.
Then I have to press the "super" key, two times : i assume that it shows Unity launcher in the backgound and then hides it and give back the focus to the game.

This a verry specific issue, but I'm affraid this bug affects more fullscreen apps. I will try to find other apps with the same behaviour.

When you say, "If I use the sound control keys under a standard gnome session, the game is not supposed to lose focus", do you mean, "When I use the sound control keys under a standard gnome session, the game does not lose focus"?

In other words, have you verified that the game does not lose focus in a Gnome session?

[Loris Zinsou (nepenthes)]

Yes, that's verified, no issue with losing focus in a standard gnome session.

This bug still happens in Unity 3.6.

Loris, are you using compiz(desktop effects) in the classic desktop session or you using metacity(no effects)?
