Graphical SSH passphrase prompt does not come up in front/foreground of guake terminal (focus)

[komputes]

Graphical SSH passphrase prompt does not come up in front/foreground of guake terminal (focus).

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open a Guake Terminal
2) SSH into a machine which requires pubkey auth

What happens:
Graphical SSH Passphrase window shows up behind the terminal and blocks interface. One must click on it to see it.

Expected:
-Passphrase should be asked from the command line (how would I change this?)
-GUI passphrase window should be on top of all other windows

Hello komputes, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report and help us make Ubuntu better!

I tried this on natty, the current development release of Ubuntu, and it worked as I would expect, with the passphrase dialog appearing in front of guake.

I'm going to reassign to guake, as I don't think this is a bug in OpenSSH, nor is it one that OpenSSH needs to fix, given that guake is in universe only.

[Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)]

Correction, marking Won't fix in openssh, as its already assigned to guake.

Using 12.04 I have the same issue. It was working in 11.10.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
