Weird focus changes with status icon; can cause lock-up #33

Open N-Yuki opened 9 years ago

N-Yuki commented 9 years ago

Gnome-Shell version: 3.12.2

Steps to reproduce the problem:

  1. Open a non-maximised window (it can be maximised, but it's not as obvious)
  2. Click on the transmission indicator
  3. Move mouse to another icon in the top bar like the calendar or other indicators
  4. The opened window loses focus, and moving around the top bar further will cause the window to keep regaining and losing focus.
  5. While moving around, I can sometimes get multiple shell menus showing simultaneously, and Gnome Shell eventually just hangs.

Expected result:

  1. Focus of windows should not be affected
  2. Should not hang the shell

Notes: The focus loss seems to also occur when the icon appears or disappears (ie. via toggling the always show indicator setting or when a transmission instance is started/ended remotely with always show indicator being set to off). This might be a separate bug, or it might be the same bug just with different steps to reproduce. This way can cause random loss of focus of windows even when not interacting with the shell, which is more annoying though.

@N-Yuki I've just taken over maintenance of this project on my GitHub fork as well as the extensions.gnome.org project. The original maintainer no longer works on this project and I have no plans to work on support for versions of Gnome Shell below 3.20. Just wanted to let you know this will likely not get fixed -- but I did verify for you that this issue no longer occurs with the version deployed to extensions.gnome.org today for any Gnome Shell versions 3.20 to 3.26.
