Deskbar Applet "Entry in panel" incompatible with Compiz

[Jonathon Conte]

I'm running Ubuntu Dapper Drake testing (Flight 4 + updates) with both Xgl and Compiz enabled.

To reproduce the bug, install the Deskbar Applet and add it to a panel. Ensure that the Deskbar Layout preference is set to "Entry in panel". The text entry field does not gain focus or display a cursor when clicked or when the Deskbar's keyboard shortcut (ALT+F3 by default) is pressed. This bug only occurs when Xgl is running with Compiz. It does not occur when Xgl is running with Metacity.

Sorry, I'm not sure whether this bug should be filed against Deskbar Applet, Compiz or perhaps another package.

I can confirm this for the Contact Lookup Applet.

I can confirm this, the entry field does not get focus.

New compiz and compiz-gnome packages from:

Punting to compiz because this is a compiz bug.

deb http://www.beerorkid.com/compiz/ dapper main /aiglx/ is where the repo is. I am running that, and don't have this problem.

Has been fixed in recent versions. Tested on Xgl/Nvidia.

I am using feisty up to date with latest release of beryl, video card is the one integrated in the new macbook, an Intel.

I have this problem: deskbar does not get focus if in "entry in panel" mode, while it works in the other mode.

To be precise, I can select with mouse the text that is in the deskbar but no keyboard input is received or at least displayed, nor a charater appear, nor a paste works.

As far as I remember, it worked well till few days ago.
If I switch with beryl manager to metacity theme, it works perfectly.

Della,

This bug is for compiz, you want to file your information under Beryl.
