In recent Fedora 29, connecting to wifi access points from the
user menu (top-right menu) does not work. Clicking the 'Connect'
button just animates it but does nothing else. The logs show an
error "JS ERROR: Error: Expected type utf8 for Argument
'specific_object' but got type 'undefined'".
Looking into this, it seems the problem is these uses of the
`path` property of an NMAccessPoint. NMAccessPoint inherits
from NMObject, and NMObject *does* have a path property:
https://developer.gnome.org/libnm/stable/NMObject.html#NMObject--path
so at first glance this seems fine. But I poked around a bit
using libnm via Python (which goes via introspection, just like
this JS code does), and found that indeed AccessPoint objects
don't seem to have a `path` property there either.
Looking at the libnm code, this actually makes sense, because
the property is marked "(skip)":
https://github.com/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/blob/master/libnm/nm-object.c#L1291
and the introspection docs suggest that means it should be left
out of introspected output:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GObjectIntrospection/Annotations#Symbol_visibility
I'm a bit concerned that this was only found recently - whereas
the change to use `.path` in gnome-shell dates from October 2017
(d71af5e5) and the property has been marked (skip) in NM since
at least 2016 - but this all seems to add up. The obvious fix is
to replace use of `.path` with `.get_path()`, which returns the
path and is *not* marked (skip) and so *is* available via
introspection. I tested that this works in Python and also did
a test build of gnome-shell with this change and installed it on
an affected system, it does seem to fix the bug.

In GNOME-3.24, pressing Super+P or a similar function key would cause
a switch to the next available monitor configuration.
However, in GNOME-3.26, this was reimplemented in mutter and gnome-shell
and the behaviour is now different: pressing Super+P and releasing will
cause no change in montor configuration[1]. In this new design you have
to press Super+P and keep holding Super in order to keep the switcher
open, then press P again (or use the arrow keys or mouse) to
select the next one in the list.
This is incompatible with many Asus products such as Asus X530UN, where
pressing the presentation mode media key (Fn+F8) actually generates
the following keypress events from the keyboard controller:
Fn pressed: nothing
F8 pressed: nothing
F8 released: Super press, p press, p release, Super release (quick burst)
Fn released: nothing
With this firmware behaviour it's not possible to hold the keys and have
the dialog come up so that you can select another new mode.
To solve this, when the switcher is opened, select the next available
display config by default, which is more similar to the pre-GNOME-3.26
behaviour. Now pressing Fn+F8 on this laptop will result in the display
mode switch taking place.
[1]: The mentioned desired behaviour will at least happen after
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/281 has been fixed
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/208
Since we always keep the active workspace until the user switches
to a different one, we may end up with two empty workspaces at
the end. It's not obvious to users why this happens, and there's
indeed no good reason for the behavior - just remove the trailing
workspace in that case.

Meta.ScreenDirection no longer exists. This fixes window menus on
multi-monitor systems.
JS ERROR: TypeError: Meta.ScreenDirection is undefined
_buildMenu@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/windowMenu.js:135:17
`NMConnectionDevice._sync()` is responsible for setting up the active
connection that we'll end up displaying. It expects the active
connection to already be in a map `_connectionItems`. If it isn't in
there, we get a null dereference and the indicator can get into a weird
state where it doesn't display devices / connections properly.
Let's change this expectation. If there is an active connection,
`_deviceAdded()` will eventually get to it and call `_sync()` to set up
the active connection state. We make `_sync()` tolerate there being no
active connection when it's called.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/140
We must remove the GFile reference from the representing object when an
extension has been unloaded as this won't be used anymore later (e.g. as cached
ref).
Throw an error using an informative message in case a mode uses a stylesheet
that can't be loaded, instead of crashing later because the theming can't be
properly computed, and thus the minimum size of the actors.
We currently assign the stylesheet to an extension whenever the file exists,
regardless of whether it actually loaded successfully or not.
And thus we load an extension that ships a stylesheet even if that file can't
be used.
There is no point in trying to load an extension if its stylesheet wasn't
loaded in the first place, so make sure this happens only on success.

Ensure that the search provider operations (just getResultMetas requests
in the current implementation) in progress are properly cancelled when we
clear the UI, otherwise returned results might still be added when not
needed.
This is triggered for each provider by the SearchResults reset.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/205
Currently when the overview is hidden, any pending search is kept alive,
not only at remote search provider level (as per issue #183), but even
the shell providers proxies continue to get and process data. This happens
even if this is not needed anymore, while the UI reset is performed only
next time that the overview is shown (causing some more computation
presentation time).
In order to stop this to happen, when the overview is hidden, we have to
unset the search entry to an empty value as this would make SearchResults
to have empty terms list and that would make the proxies cancellable to
be triggered (without causing any further search to start).

If the volume is removed before AUTORUN_EXPIRE_TIMEOUT_SECS seconds, we can stop
the timeout earlier as there's nothing to unset, while the volume instance
won't be valid anymore.

The _sync function for Message only updates the close button visibility,
so we can safely stop doing that if the close button get get destroyed earlier
(as it happens when clicking on it).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791233
We need to avoid that we use the _dragActor instance after that it has
been destroyed or we'll get errors. We now set it to null when this
happens, protecting any access to that.
Add a DragState enum-like object to keep track of the state
instead of using booleans.
Remove duplicated handler on 'destroy' and just use a generic one.

Previously mutter listened to Xsettings (via GTK) to get notified
whether the shell showed the app menu. After X11 support was changed in
the direction of being less central, listening to this particular
Xsettings were removed with the intention of having the Shell tell
mutter directly whether it was showing the menu or not.
This commit makes that happen. It still travels through Xsettings (still
via Gtk), as the shell still gets that state from Xsettings, but fixing
this is out of scope for this particular fix.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/276
Flag some actors that are good candidates for caching in texture memory
(what Clutter calls "offscreen redirect"), thereby mostly eliminating
their repaint overhead.
This isn't exactly groundbreaking, it's how you're meant to use
OpenGL in the first place. But the difficulty is in the design of
Clutter which has some peculiarities making universal caching
inefficient at the moment:
* Repainting an offscreen actor is measurably slower than repainting
the same actor if it was uncached. But only by less than 100%,
so if an actor can avoid changing every frame then caching is usually
more efficient over that timeframe.
* The cached painting from a container typically includes its children,
so you can't cache containers whose children are usually animating at
full frame rate. That results in a performance loss.
This could be remedied in future by Clutter explicitly separating a
container's background painting from its child painting and always
caching the background (as StWidget tries to in some cases already).
So this commit selects just a few areas where caching has been verified
to be beneficial, and many use cases now see their CPU usage halved:
One small window active...... 10% -> 7% (-30%)
...under a panel menu........ 23% -> 9% (-61%)
One maximized window active.. 12% -> 9% (-25%)
...under a panel menu........ 23% -> 11% (-52%)
...under a shell dialog...... 22% -> 12% (-45%)
...in activities overview.... 32% -> 17% (-47%)
(on an i7-7700)
Also a couple of bugs are fixed by this:

Instead of consuming the event in front of the input method. Enter
is sometimes overriden by those, so it seems better to let the IM
handle the key event, and react later to it if it got propagated
anyway. That is what ::activate does, so use this signal.
This used to work before ClutterInputMethod/InputFocus because the
IM received the events directly from stage captured events. This
is not the case anymore.
Closes: #440
We used to keep the workspace switcher slid out when the user made use
of workspaces. This was changed in commit 2d84975 to give more space
to window previews, but it turned out to make the switcher quite a lot
more difficult to interact with (rather than only being a question of
discoverability). So go back to the previous behavior.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/161
During global grabs, actors miss enter and leave events required
for correct hover tracking. This can cause the workspace switcher
to get stuck while slid out, so ensure the actor's hover state is
synced after drag operations.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/161
We show a cover pane on top of the overview during transitions to
prevent issues caused by clicks and mouseover events when the overview
is not ready. Right now, this pane is only being shown on the primary
monitor, which obviosly allows interactions to happen before the
animations are finished on the secondary monitors.
To fix this, use the size of the whole stage for the cover pane.
Emitting it that soon results in JS warnings, as we don't have
everything in place yet. The position-changed signal will be
emitted from other locations as soon as we have it.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/464Closes: #464
When trying to close a window in the overview by clicking the close
button and the window doesn't get closed but a dialog is added to the
window afterwards, we close the overview and show the dialog.
Instead of adding a separate listener for the window-added signal to the
WindowOverlay, let the WindowClones remember that the close button was
pressed and activate themselves if a dialog is added after that.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/180
When a dialog is added to a window while the overview is shown, we get
its parent using get_transient_for() so we can add it to the right
window clone.
If we have multiple layers of dialogs we have to do this recursively
until we find the root ancestor. This case currently results in an
infinite loop: Since parent is always set to the same window, the
while-condition will always be true.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/180
For the OSD, all parameters except for the icon are optional - if the
caller doesn't include the 'label' option, the OSD won't show a label
etc.
While this makes sense for an API, it means that we have to be careful
to correctly differentiate an option that was omitted and an option
that has a 'falsy' value like false or 0.
Unfortunately since commit ccaae5d3c we no longer do, with the result
that OSDs meant for the first monitor will show up on all, and a level
of 0 is presented as no level bar instead of an empty one, whoops.

GSettings now recognizes per-desktop overrides that can be used
to change schemas' default values for a particular desktop. This
is not entirely unlike our existing custom override mechanism in
mutter, except that it is not limited to keys in org.gnome.mutter,
and it doesn't require a separate schema - the latter means that
we (and gnome-teak-tool) no longer have to figure out the correct
schema for the current login session and just use the original one.

Show an overamplified volume icon if volume is louder the max normalized one.
Use a similar logic as gnome-settings-daemon to delimit values, restricted
to output.
The purpose is to help users remember that visiting some websites or
using some apps can get LOUD.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790280.
Implement for barLevel an overdrive area. This is a zone represented via a
different styling to indicate that you are bypassing the normal zone of
a given level, without reaching yet the maximum limit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790280.
Depending on hardware and recorded volume level, turning up the speakers
to the maximum volume may not be enough and the user will want to amplify
the volume above 100%. Currently this requires opening the sound Settings
panel which gets cumbersome when required repeatedly.
To support this case better, allow raising the sound volume above 100%
directly from the system menu if the feature is enabled via the
`allow-volume-above-100-percent` key in `org.gnome.desktop.sound`.
Allow osd representing levels that can be more than 100% by accepting
an optional parameter setting that maximum level.
gnome-settings-daemon will use this to indicate volume levels above 100%,
which our own volume indicator will soon support as well.
Ensure that both barLevel and slider can support a higher maxValue than 1
and computes various positions based on it.
It defaults to 1 if not set.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790280.
Reuse the BarLevel class to get similar drawing behavior as Slider.
Rename theme css impacted properties and ensure that the osdWindow
remains accessible.
Ensure we don't force setting a custom border color like on the OSD.

In a9ad91c831, a bug was introduced in the following code:
```c
this._settingsAction.connect('clicked',
this._onSettingsClicked().bind(this));
```
Notice that the callback is being executed! This commit
fixes that by removing the '()' from the callback.
As strings are guaranteed to use UTF-8 in the GNOME platform, generic
file APIs like g_file_load_contents() return raw data instead. Since
gjs' recent update to mozjs60, this data is now returns as Uint8Array
which cannot simply be treated as string - its toString() method boils
down to arr.join(',') - so use gjs' new ByteArray module to explicitly
convert the data.

The settings action button in the system menu simply launches
gnome-control-center, so we want its icon (and accessible name)
to always match the app. So instead of keeping the button in-sync
with Settings, just look up that information from the app itself.

We can simply request the symbolic variant from CSS so that we don't
have to append '-symbolic' to all the names. This will always make

Commit e5c95b910d refactored the workspace animation to also handle
animations that involve all surrounding workspaces, but due to an
ill-advised review comment (guess whose) it broke the animation
for non-neighboring workspaces.
Update the code to handle correctly whether in a given direction:
- we have the target workspace of a given index
- we have a neighboring workspace
- we don't need to animate anything

Add a debug command (to be executed manually via Alt+F2) to check
that all of gnome-shell's file descriptors have the CLOEXEC flag set.
This is important so that internal file descriptors do not get passed
to apps when they are launched.
It prints a warning message for every fd that does not have the flag set.
fdwalk() is used from the standard library if available (it is not
available in glibc), otherwise we use the same implementation as glib
has internally.
