2008-10-16 18:23:20 Rui Nibau description Zim version : -------------------------------------------------- Zim : # locale: fr_FR.UTF-8 # Loading translation from: /usr/local/bin/../share/zim/lingua/fr.pl # This is zim 0.26 # Gtk2 version is 1.161 # compiled against gtk+ 2.12.0 # linked against gtk+ 2.12.9 OS : Ubuntu 8.04 Use case 1 : --------------------------------------- - you're working with a notebook and need to take a look at another one. - you go to the file menu and click "open another notebook..." (or type CTRL+o) - the "open notebook" dialog pops up. In fact, it **pops under** : the main window (notebook) still have the focus and you have to manualy switch to the dialog window. - you select a notebook and click "open" : again, the new window pops under and you have to manually switch to it. Use case 2 : ------------------------------------- - you have a notebook opened but reduced in the systray - you're working in another application and need to pick up some info from this notebook - you click the Zim icon in the toolbar : the notebook window also pops under the application window where you're working in. Comments ---------------------------------------- - It doesn't always happen, but i'm not able to specify a clear actions sequence that reproduce the behaviour consistently. - Don't know if the behaviour is due to zim or to gtk. This kind of "no-focus" on opening window also appears on gtk apps under Windows (like Geany).

2009-03-03 14:58:26 Jaap Karssenberg None: statusexplanation I now think this issue is caused be a design issue where all dialogs are transient for the parent window while in fact in some cases they should have another dialog as parent. This is only a hint for the WM, so different WM handle this differently. Will make sure the re-factored design sets the right parent window.
