Force quit applet doesn't remove modal window when pressing <ESC>

[mvandeg]

When clicking the force quit button and canceling by pressing <ESC>, the modal window is not removed. I will include a screen shot.

What distro do you use and is assistive technology (AT) on? I can't reproduce it with today Edgy.

[mvandeg (mvandegiessen)]

I can't reproduce it anymore too. Since I reported the bug I've done
some upgrades and apparently it's fixed.

Marking as fixed for now then, feel free to reopen if you get the issue again

hey, i don't use this (launchpad) as much as i should and so I'm unsure if i should change the status, so to be safe ill leave that alone.

Seems like this needs to be reopened as i now have this bug in hardy. Unsure how it happened, will try and reproduce.

I also just had this bug. I'm also running Firefox (like the original report on both this bug and the duplicate) on the Intrepid LiveCD. I solved the problem with pkill gnome-panel; when the panel reappeared, the force-quit window had gone.

I have had this bug a few times now. I get it if Firefox is having problems and I try to kill it, but I get impatient and click the force quit button over and over. pkill gnome-panel or rebooting makes it go away.

Im running Intrepid Ibex,

Still experiencing this problem using Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope.

Still cant quite figure out exactly what causes it to do this. The applet still works after the error (when the first window does not disappear). So if you click on the "force quit" icon again another modal window appears on top, but this one disappears when you press ESC. The original window remains even when I started a fullscreen game to try and clear the display. It is on top of all other applications and will not go away without reboot or killing the panel (as above)

If anyone has a trace from the applet when it does this or knows how the applet works it would be appreciated. Does it start a new instance of another program when you run it?

I've just experienced this bug as well. Ran pkill gnome-panel and the problem was solved. After I initially tried to press escape, couldn't do anything with that "Force quit" window - it just got in the way.

(That's on 9.10, by the way.)

Looking for a way to get rid of this dialog box I came across this bug report. I am using Lucid. I do have Assistive Technologies enabled. I am trying to come up with the steps to accurately reproduce this.

[Neil H (neilhillen)]

I just experienced this bug with Lucid, and with Firefox specifically experiencing issues with a full screen flash video. The message wouldn't go away with xkill or itself, so usef "pkill gnome-panel" as someone else here notes. Update Manager was run this morning, so I should be fairly current.

Thank you for reporting this bug.

Does this issue occur in Maverick?

I just ran into this issue on Maverick. I could not reproduce it though.
