Guake not opening in some cases #848

Open wil93 opened 7 years ago

wil93 commented 7 years ago

I can reproduce this issue with this configuration:

keyboard shortcut changed from F12 to F7

And with these steps:

focus on chrome
try hitting F7 many times, everything works
focus on GNOME (e.g. go to another workspace with CTRL+ALT+ARROW_DOWN)
try hitting F7
nothing happens

I have the same issue. The issue seems related to GTK applications. For example, when focus is on file-roller, Transmission, nautilus etc.. the keyboard shortcut witll not open guake. When the focus is on a QT application ( like Calibre, for example) instead, everything works.

According to @dario2994 a workaround is to uncomment the "Wayland=false" line (or something similar) in the /etc/default/gdm.conf file.

I tried this and the shortcut works, however I get other issues (probably related to my hidpi screen).

The same issue. Never shows when gnome desktop is focused. F25 + wayland

semsevens commented 7 years ago

Two temporary workaround:

Set xorg as default. For Fedora 25, just uncomment WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm/custom.conf.
Set system's keyboard to add a custom shortcut instead of setting Guake's shortcut.

I prefer the first workaround, because the second one's response time is about twice that of the first.

It still persists with Gnome 3.28.4. For me adding custom gnome shortcut was the only viable solution
