Regression: Undocked panels don't yield when other apps are selected in latest build #15991

Open macdroid53 opened 3 weeks ago

macdroid53 commented 3 weeks ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

Problem description

In today's build, when first launched with un-docked panels (Property and Task) on another monitor, the panels yield focus as expected. After some operations (like running a Python addon) or errors are reported, the panels no longer yield when another application is given focus on the monitor that has the panels. This regression seems to happen every few months, checking how it was repaired previously may help determine the cause.

'Yield' as in they always stay on top ?

macdroid53 commented 3 weeks ago

Yes.

@luzpaz is this really a blocker for the release candidate? Can anyone confirm this issue? I cannot reproduce on Windows

After some operations (like running a Python addon) or errors are reported, the panels no longer yield when another application is given focus on the monitor that has the panels.

@maxwxyz this seems like a very disruptive UX issue in FC and for the persons' computer. I can't test ATM. If we can't reproduce then remove blocker status ? Or remove now and add when it's reproducible ? I defer to you.

I'm not sure this email will work. I'm on my phone. I don't think this was ever reproducible in windows. I ca reproduce in Debian and Manjaro every time it regresses. If you can assume most users don't care about unlocked/multi-monitor behavior, then it is obviously not a blocking issue.

Huh. Can't reproduce on a 3840x2160 primary display and a 3840x2400 secondary monitor connected via USB3/Firewire.

Tried BIM, Curves, OpenSCAD workbenches, lots of model modifications. I'm in the "not a blocker until there's a reproduction path" camp, was hoping to reproduce, but no luck so far.
