The default ZoomRegion is created at startup and only updated if it is active
when the monitor setup changes. Thus when reactivating the magnifier after a
display change, the viewport used is still the one that been computed with the
old screen geometry values.
Move screen update code inside a function and call it both when activating
the zoom region and when the monitor changes during a zoom session.

NetworkManager added support for a new device - NMDeviceWifiP2P - but
did not add the corresponding enum value in NMDeviceType. The return
value for nm_device_get_device_type() is therefore "illegal" for the
newly added device, and gjs throws an exception.
This should ultimately be fixed in libnm, but as errors when adding
one device shouldn't interfere with adding any other devices, catching
exception is a good idea anyway, so do just that.

Commit 1b169655ac removed the system indicator from the list of children
that are considered for the overall menu width, because we do want the
log-out submenu to adapt to the available width.
However as a side effect, action buttons no longer contribute to the
width either, so if extensions add additional buttons, the menu is
likely to overflow.
Avoid this by only adding the button group to the list of size children.

This call just went through stomping over previous drag operations if any,
_maybeStartDrag() accounted for this, but other callers (well, WindowClone
in workspace.js) don't. This must bail out early even if a drag operation is
requested, luckily all callers account for it already.
This broke shell state by preserving connected captured-event handlers if
one tried to drag multiple windows simultaneously through multitouch. We
of course don't support that, now more elegantly.

The bind constraint that replaced the Shell.GenericContainer in commit
f4682748fa is subtly different from the previous code:
It forces the actor to have the same size as the stage, rather than just
requesting that size.
This breaks the magnifier which relies on the UI being able to be bigger
than the display size. Fix by going back to using a custom actor.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/646
The texture cache now returns an actor with an appropriate ClutterContent
rather than a ClutterTexture. That actor uses the CONTENT_SIZE request

Fix this by making sure the image is already loaded with the desired
dimensions.

Commit 8f15193b4 changed the `policy` property from a regular JS property to

Don't create a Source subclass, but use the base class directly and change
its `policy` property.

Instead of just passing a scale when getting a cached icon, pass both a
'paint_scale', the scale of which the icon will be painted on the
stage, and a 'resource_scale', the scale of the resource used for
painting.
In effect, the texture size will use the scale 'paint_scale * resource_scale'
in a ceiled value while the size of the actor will use 'paint_scale' when
determining the size.
this would load a bigger texture, but the downscaling would keep the visual
quality.

If the user's real name is too long to fit the menu comfortably, we are
supposed to use the username instead. However since commit f8e5e3e435,
we no longer set a max-width on the menu as a whole, but instead base

the system menu ended up there, so the name is now allowed to grow
indefinitely.

The menu grabs the key focus when opened, which takes focus away from
whichever actor triggered the keyboard. And as the menu doesn't have
any text entries, the keyboard is popped down as a result.
Prevent this by making the menu items unfocusable, so the keyboard
focus just stays where it is. Considering that the menu is part
of the on-screen keyboard itself, not being keyboard-navigatable
isn't a big deal here.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/171
Menu items use a single 'active' state that follows both hover and
keyboard focus. It therefore makes sense for the active item to always
grab the focus, in particular as an item that is sensitive but not
focusable by keynav would be rather weird.
As it turns out, we do have a case that is weird enough where we want
exactly that, so only grab focus if the actor's :can-focus property
allows it.

With the app menu being phased out entirely, there's no good reason to

The GtkSettings was originally introduced to inform applications about

Certain keybindings should continue to work even when a popup
menu is on screen. For instance, the keybinding for showing
the app menu and the keyinding for showing the calendar are
examples.
This is achieved by putting in place a special "POPUP" action
mode, whenever a popup menu is active. This mode replaces
the (e.g., "NORMAL" or "OVERVIEW") action mode that was in place
for as long as the popup menu is active.
But those keybindings should not work when the user is at the
unlock dialog (which uses an action mode of "UNLOCK").
Unfortunately, since commit c79d24b6 they do.
This commit addresses the problem by forcing the action mode
to NONE at the unlock screen when popups are visible.

This keyboard works similar to GTK+'s emoji chooser (actually, both pull
from the same JSON file). Emojis are categorized in sections and variants
and kept in a "model".
The EmojiPager actor then uses this model to generate pages on-the-fly as
the user swipes around. This is an important optimization since the amount
of actors would rival with the rest of the shell otherwise.
The EmojiSelection object puts the EmojiPager, the page indicators and
a KeyContainer with the bottom row of emoji section shortcuts together to
implement the emoji panel as a whole.
The Keyboard object hooked this to an "emoji" key, which is just visible
on the Clutter.InputContentPurpose where showing an emoji would be
meaningful. Otherwise the surrounding buttons are made a bit wider to
cover up for it (i.e. as it was before).
In order to cater for emoji panel usage, we want something like PageIndicators
except:
- It should have horizontal disposition
- It should not be animatable (?)
- It should not be reactive
Separated PageIndicators into a base, non-animated widget, and an
AnimatedPageIndicators that can be used on appDisplay.js. Reactiveness is
set through an extra method, and layout is set as a construct argument.
This will be useful as we want other panels (eg. emoji) to preserve aspect
ratio with the rest of the OSK. Separate the aspect ratio management logic
into this container that will be the parent of them all.
Since commit 447bf55e45 we turn the top bar translucent when

This is actually papering over bugs in toolkits. On X11 the Xserver will
send crossing events when the stage input shape changes. As those go

Besides the device grab on the drag device, also set up a captured-event
handler to catch other devices (except the keyboard) while the DnD
operation is ongoing. This makes DnD operations exclusive to others.
Also, disallow it in less aggressive ways if maybeStartDrag() gets called
while there is a current draggable.
This might definitely be nicer (eg. having other grabbed devices emit
leave/end events), but can't be done without major surgery to Clutter.
In the case where the draggable has an actor of its own, state could be
left broken when dragging on a place that would not accept the DnD op.
After button release, drag state is set to "cancelled" and the animation
begins. After the animation is finished, the drag actor would be destroyed
before disconnecting from its destroy handler.
Within the destroy handler, the grab would be undone but drag state would
be left on "cancelled" state for subsequent operations. This results in
DnD oddities and stuck grabs.
In order to fix this, double check in the actor destroy handler that we
are actually dragging before setting the "cancelled" state.

Whenever the AllView needs (re)populating, we used to do one general
g_app_info_get_all() to get all GAppInfo, plus one per app folder in order
to check the ones that fall within that category. This calls results in a
fair amount of I/O blocking the main loop.
In order to ease this, keep the GAppInfo list around in AllView, and make
the AppFolders use it when figuring out the contained apps. Since reloading
the AllView results in AppFolders regenerated from scratch, the app info
list is ensured to be up-to-date for any later change within the AppFolder
(eg. through the GSettings key changing).
As the list was already filtered in the first place, we can also remove
the try{}catch() in AppFolder in order to discard desktop files with
invalid encoding.

The built-in calendar isn't meant to replace a full-fledged calendar
app, which is why clearing event messages only hides the event in
gnome-shell rather than deleting the actual event. This has turned out
to not be overly useful and often confusing - it creates a discrepancy
with visible events in apps, isn't revertible in a non-obscure fashion
and non-obviously limited to the current date.
As we are considering moving events out of the message list and back to

We currently deliberately avoid chaining up in derived policy
constructors to not override properties with their defaults.
That's a neat trick that will stop working when porting to ES6

Destroy the DashItemContainer's child from the same handler as the tooltip. This

Since commit 551e827841, we don't always pass a callback parameter.
However passing it on as undefined to ibus doesn't work, as gjs doesn't
accept that as a valid callback value and throw an error. As a result,
we can end up with no layout selected in the keyboard menu and an "empty"
indicator. Fix this by explicitly passing null if no callback has been
provided.

Back in the day, there was a proposed system of tracking apps in a
specific context.
The inspiration was that you may have used apps in multiple modes:
Firefox may have been used in both "Programmer Reference" and
"Kitten Videos" contexts. Early user response to the feedback wasn't
too positive - context switching is something that humans have trouble
doing implicitly, let alone explicitly. The old codebase still has a
few remnants of this around; let's finally put them to rest.
Note that we still write out a dummy context tag to the XML file - old
versions of the shell will flat out crash if you don't have one of those
in there, so just leave it in for compatibility sake.

The pending-charge state means AC power is on but the battery is not
being charged. This can happen because its charge is above a certain
threshold, to avoid short charging cycles and prolong the battery's
life, or because the PSU is not powerful enough to charge the batteries.
Instead of lying to the user about something being estimated, we should
simply tell the truth and set the label to "Not Charging".
Closes: #701.
When we started to only show a single caption at a time, we allowed
title captions to be wider than their corresponding window preview.
But while overlapping neighboring previews is fine, we shouldn't
allow the captions to leak outside the workspace area itself and
overlap unrelated elements like workspace switcher or dash.
This partly reverts commit b3b30f239d.

Instead of defaulting to a natural scroll behavior,
have the workspace switch action use the natural-scroll setting

direction of travel when swiping. 4 finger swipes will then
match the behavior of the rest of the UI.

While this sounds counter-intuitive, the image-path hint value might also
be used with URIs or icon names.
As per freedesktop standard:
The "app_icon" parameter and "image-path" hint should be either an URI
(file:// is the only URI schema supported right now) or a name in a
freedesktop.org-compliant icon theme (not a GTK+ stock ID).
Thus the image-path hint should also be parsed as it happens for the
app_icon.
Reuse same logic, by falling back on _iconForNotificationData with the
hint value.

We have a callback that will call close() when the notification is
destroyed, and a callback that will call destroy() on the notification
when the message is closed.
Currently, if the notification is destroyed we'll execute our callback
that will call again destroy() on the notification. That's bad
practice in general, and it also has the side effect of resetting the
destroy reason.
This commit avoids re-destroying the notification by dropping the
notification reference on destroy.

Differently from the fd.o notifications, Gtk notifications do not
have a mechanism to update themselves. Instead, when a new
notification is received for an ID already known to the notification
daemon, the old notification is dismissed and a replaced with a new
one.
Currently though, there is no way to distinguish a notification that
was dismissed because of an user interaction, or because it was
replaced. That is an useful piece of information, so add a new value
to the NotificationDestroyedReason enum to account for it.

When gnome-shell receives the signal of 'set-content-type' from ibus,
gnome-shell calls KeyboardManager.holdKeyboard() and
KeyboardManager.releaseKeyboard() and the functions change the current
input focus in GNOME Xorg and it could result in closing a popup window
which has a password entry by focusing on the entry.
The solution is to stop to call the APIs on 'set-content-type' signal.

We don't usually show notification banners while the monitor is in

To achieve that, disable unredirection while the banner is showing.

The `reactive` property of icon actors was being restored multiple times
over the course of the pulse animation, all at slightly different times
as each icon finished animating at different times.
The problem is that toggling `reactive` on an `StWidget` incurs a style
change of the `insensitive` pseudo class, and style changes would quickly
queue relayouts incurring full stage reallocation. This occurred many times
during a pulse animation, limiting its smoothness and performance.
The solution is to not toggle the `reactive` property in the pulse
animation at all, which avoids incurring multiple full stage relayouts.
As a bonus, this means the icon under the cursor pulses with the correct
selection highlight, appearing more seamless and responsive.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/261
The `reactive` property of icon actors was being restored 24 times over
the course of the spring animation, all at slightly different times as
each icon finished animating at different times.
The problem is that toggling `reactive` on an `StWidget` incurs a style
change of the `insensitive` pseudo class, and style changes would quickly
queue relayouts incurring full stage reallocation. This occurred many times
during a spring animation hogging the CPU and limiting the frame rate.
The solution is defer and batch the cleanup for all icons until after the
last icon has finished animating. This way the CPU impact of the style
change and stage relayout isn't felt during the animation so the frame
rate remains higher and smoother. The overall CPU usage of the animation
is also reduced as the remaining relayouts are much more likely to be
grouped into a single frame.
Icon spring animation performance on an i7-7700:
Before: 83% CPU and 47 FPS
After : 78% CPU and 54 FPS
which is about a 22% increase in performance per clock (FPS/CPU).

The switcher popup is a large, mostly transparent actor that
should cover all the clickable area of GNOME Shell. In Clutter
terms, it should cover the whole stage.
By binding it to the primary monitor, the Alt+Tab behavior
becomes a bit inconsistent. For example, by not hiding when
clicking at empty spaces at other monitors.
Fix that by binding the SwitcherPopup to the whole stage,
and not only the primary monitor.

If no password or a wrong password is entered after automounting an

exception handling in the _onVolumeMounted method.

Fix a regression causing the portal helper to crash.
In 94423151b2 we moved the dbus interface
descriptions into seperate files which is why we had to include the
fileUtils js module. This module imports the params js module, so add
params.js to the gresources file for the portal helper.
We currently only ignore minimized windows, not windows that are
hidden for other reasons - namely on wayland windows are initially
hidden until they are placed.
This fixes a flicker in the transparent top bar on wayland when the
"position" of an unplaced window wrongly suggests the window is
overlapping the top bar.

Since we started to show OSD windows on all monitors, OSD windows are
destroyed when the corresponding monitor is disconnected. We shouldn't
leave any signal handlers around in that case - they prevent the object
from being garbage collected, and trigger warnings for accessing proper-
ties of invalidated GObjects.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/602
When maxLevel is > 100%, first OSD appearance was capping the current
level to 100%. Consecutives key press were then OK.
Ensure we setMaxLevel before setting Level itself, so that correct cap
value is applied.
App folder popups take a grab when opened, and as we don't pass any
particular pushModal() parameters, all keybindings are blocked. While
this makes sense for most keybindings that would interfere with the
popup interaction, others like volume/brightness keys or screenshots
can be allowed safely.

Instead of taking care of the PanelMenu.ButtonBox.container
destruction by itself, delegate that to the very object that
created it in the first place: PanelMenu.ButtonBox itself.
This is the last remaining usage of Shell.GenericContainer
in the codebase, and posed small challenges compared to the
other removals.
A new St.Widget subclass called InputSourceIndicatorContainer
was added as a replacement to the Shell.GenericContainer. It
was needed because GNOME Shell needs to override the regular
size allocation functions, but InputSourceIndicator already
is a St.Widget with its own size allocation overrides.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
Because we're late in the cycle, and don't know how many
extensions actually rely on this API, this commit adds
back the BoxPointer.show() and .hide() functions, with
warning messages to notify consumers that this is going
to be removed.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
Pretty much like dd4709bb2, BoxPointer's show() and hide()
functions will clash with Clutter.Actor's ones.
In addition to that, on a conceptual level, the current API
is not great, because calling boxPointer.hide() won't result
in boxPointer.actor.visible == false.
For these reasons, rename show() and hide() to open() and
close(). A compatibility layer will be added in a following
commit, warning about the usage of show() and hide().
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
LayoutManager is currently a pure JavaScript class that
relies on the rudimentary Signals.addSignalMethods() to
handle signals. This is an inefficient implementation of
one of the most central classes in GNOME Shell.
In addition to removing Shell.GenericContainer, then,
turn LayoutManager into a proper GObject.Object subclass.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
In the next commit, we will turn PanelMenu.ButtonBox into a
St.Widget subclass. As a domino effect, PanelMenu.Button will
become one too, and so will Panel.AppMenuButton.
When that happens, the current show() and hide() functions in
Panel.AppMenuButton will clash with Clutter.Actor's ones.
To avoid that, rename these functions to fadeIn() and fadeOut()
and avoid a name clash.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
This is another straight port from Shell.GenericContainer.
The important thing to notice is that the calculation is
broken if the StThemeNode helpers (adjust_preferred_* and
adjust_for_*) aren't used.
The downside of this patch is that it removed the skip_paint
from the thumbnails. Keeping it would add an unecessarily
large amount of code.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
Removing Shell.GenericContainer from the IconGrid class was
challenging because it needs the "skip paint" API from it.
This API was added, too, as a workaround to the inability
to override vfuncs from GJS.
The overrides are largely copy-pasted and translated versions
of the Shell.GenericContainer code.
The IconGrid:key-focus-in signal was renamed to :child-focused
to avoid clashing with ClutterActor:key-focus-in.
In GridSearchResults, the internal IconGrid had it's y_expand
set to false, so it doesn't push other search elements (the
list results mainly) to the bottom of the screen.
Because skip paint wasn't and still isn't a GObject property,
rename it to _skipPaint to reflect that.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
As part of our quest to obsolete Shell.GenericContainer, IconGrid will
become a Clutter.Actor subclass. As the ::key-focus-in signal would
clash with Clutter.Actor::key-focus-in, rename it to ::child-focused.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
DashItemContainer currently animates the scale and opacity
of its child when zooming in. This is visible when adding
a new favorite item to the dash; the items will zoom in from
the center.
After the previous commit, however, the zoom animation got
slightly broken, and looked like the icon was coming from
the bottom instead of the center.
Fix that by setting the scale and opacity of DashItemContainer
itself, instead of its child. Remove the unused code after that
too.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
Pretty much like the previous patches, this extends St.Bin. The
most interesting aspect of this patch is that most of the sizing
routines of the icons is now delegated to the actors and layout
managers, removing quite a bunch of code.
The 'spacing' theme property is now redirected to StBoxLayout's
spacing property. Also adjust the Dash code to stop forcing a
potentially invalid width in the first icon too.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
This commit removes all the uses of Shell.GenericContainer from
SwitcherPopup.SwitcherList. Compared to the other patches, this
one was specially trickier to get right, and a few invasive
changes needed to be done.
The most noticeable one is that the allocation of the items is
done entirely by St.BoxLayout -- we don't manually allocate them
anymore. To make it work, get_preferred_width() had to calculate
the correct value. It now assumes that:
* Minimum width: the minimum width of the widest child.
* Natural width: the minimum width of the StBoxLayout (use it
instead of the natural width to force the labels to ellipsize
when too long.)
The AppIcon class became a St.Widget subclass as well, to override
get_preferred_width() and be able to keep the squared shape.
Besides that, add a new SwitcherButton class to reimplement squared
icons without having to resort to hacks in the size allocation
machinery. This class has a single vfunc override to ensure that it
is squared when the SwitcherList is.
The arrows indicating multiple windows are now in this._list
actor to the SwitcherPopup itself, since this._list automatically
manages its own children now.
At last, adapt (but preserve) the hack in CyclerPopup.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
Instead of overriding vfunc_get_preferred_width|height(), use the
already available Layout.MonitorConstraint to bind SwitcherPopup
to the primary monitor.
This commit turns SwitcherPopup.SwitcherPopup into a St.Widget
subclass, and gets rid of Shell.GenericContainer usage. Subclasses
were adapted to that too.
This class introduced a new challenge: it overrides show(). As per
discussions, we now call this.visible = true inside show().
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
In the process of purging all usages of Shell.GenericContainer
of GNOME Shell, one specific problematic situation that might
occur is when classes have functions that would clash with any
ClutterActor or StWidget function name.
One of such example is SwitcherPopup.destroy(). Right now, this
class is a pure JavaScript class that wraps a real actor, but
soon this will change, and it'll become a St.Widget subclass.
Another problem with functions that mimic the toolkit ones is
the predictability of them; after calling destroy(), that widget
is expected to not be available anymore. In SwitcherPopup case,
it is still available for a short while. In this case, that's not
a big problem, but the show() and hide() functions in other clases
are more problematic because the actor's visibility does not
follow that.
This commit is a first step in cleaning that up, and changes the
SwitcherPopup.destroy() to fadeAndDestroy().
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
Shell.GenericContainer exposes the size negotiation machinery
through the use of signals. Signals are not specially performant.
One of the reasons is that they acquire a global lock for signal
handlers lookup. GNOME Shell has more than 2,000 actors at any
given point in time, up to 20 levels deep in hierarchy, making
size negotiation and painting non-trivial tasks. Such a critical
section of Clutter's machinery shouldn't rely on signals
whatsoever.
Regardless of that, Shell.GenericContainer is a workaround to
a non-existing issue anymore. It shouldn't be used anyway, and
any performance improvements that removing it can potentially
yield are bonuses to it.
This commit starts this work by removing Shell.GenericContainer
usage from Panel.Panel class. The class now extends St.Widget,
and as such, it has no "this.actor" field set anymore. A couple
of places where this actor field was used are adjuste as well.
It is important to notice that we now allocate the Panel itself
inside vfunc_allocate(). This was previously done before emitting
the signal by Shell.GenericContainer.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/153
ClutterVirtualInputDevice has the limitation that event flags won't be
made to contain CLUTTER_EVENT_FLAG_INPUT_METHOD, possibly causing feedback
loops.
As the event gets injected up the platform dependent bits, we can avoid
care on not pressing the same key twice, we still expect coherence between
key presses and releases from the IM though.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/531
When adding a favorite, we add the ID to the list of favorites, save the
setting and add the new app to the favorites map. However as writing the
settings value already results in reload() to update the favorites map,
the new app is usually already in the map when we add it.
The only exception is when the ID was found in the RENAMED_DESKTOP_IDS map,
in which case we end up adding both the renamed app and the original one.
Fix this by simply relying on reload() to properly update the map, just like
we already do in _removeFavorite().
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/471
On X11, reactive chrome must be added to the input region in order
to work as expected. However that region works independently from
any window stacking, with the result that the unresponsive-app dialog
currently blocks all input in the "covered" area, even in windows
stacked above the unresponsive window.
The correct fix would be to track the unobscured parts of the dialog
and set the input region from that, but that's quite cumbersome. So
instead, only track chrome when the corresponding window is focused
(or the dialog itself of course).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/273
As a mount operation's UI may be reused (for example after mistyping
the password), we only close the operation once the mount has finished
(successfully or with error).
We therefore need to track ongoing operations, which we currently do
by monkey-patching the corresponding volume object. However while the
underlying GVolume object indeed remains the same through-out the
operation, the JS wrapper object isn't referenced anywhere and may
thus be garbage collected, resulting in a stuck dialog.
Fix this issue by tracking active operations explicitly, so that all
involved objects are referenced until the end of the operation.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/565
Whenever a command runs in the run dialog, it
will be added to the history unless it is
already the last entry. This does not apply
for entries that are not consecutive, which can
result in long chains of commands which
alternate, e.g. lg, r, lg, r, lg, r. Not only is
this wasteful in terms of space, but also
inconsistent with how history works elsewhere,
e.g. in the shell.
Therefore, remove entries in the history that are
equal to the one that will be added to the end of
of the history when the entry already exists.

The `hints` and `settingName` parameters to the agent call may define
the specific list of secrets NM actually needs from the user. This
seems to have been the intended use of these two parameters but only
recently did NM with the IWD backend start to use this to request 802.1x
secrets. So if `hints` is provided, ask user for the specific secrets
listed there and don't even look at what type of EAP method is in use.
Only the three types of secrets actually in use by NM's IWD backend are
supported for now -- they happen to be the same three that
_get8021xSecrets() had already supported.
This attribute was previously only assigned in show(). hide() compares
this attribute to 0. If hide() is called before show() is first called,
the comparison would give the correct result (undefined > 0 is false)
but log a warning:
JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/workspacesView.js 529]:
reference to undefined property "_restackedNotifyId"
Initialize this attribute in _init(), alongside _scrollEventId and
_keyPressEventId which are also used in hide().
dialogContent is set to one of the elements of the list DialogContent,
but not all of those have a checkBoxText property. When logging out (as
opposed to shutting down), this causes a warning:
JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/endSessionDialog.js
763]: reference to undefined property "checkBoxText"
(The line number corresponds to this line in 3.28.3.)
The warning is apparently not triggered if the undefined property is
used as part of a boolean expression:
gjs> var x = {};
gjs> x.a;
typein:2:1 strict warning: reference to undefined property "a"
gjs> if (x.b) { log('oh no'); }
gjs> x.c || ''
""
_setCheckBoxLabel() just checks the truthiness of its 'text' argument,
and the empty string is false-y, so passing '' rather than undefined has
no functional effect.
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.

gjs's D-Bus convenience explicitly expects a string representation
of an interface, but the new convenience method to load an XML
description from a resource introduced in commit f42d9df3e0 only
returns a string when using gjs from the GNOME 3.30 release. We
have so far managed to keep compatibility with the previous stable
gjs release, so fix up the fallback code to cast to string.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/578
Commit dbf993300a moved all inline D-Bus interface descriptions to template
strings so we can stop escaping line breaks.
Unfortunately that unveiled a grave bug in xgettext, which currently cannot
handle files that contain both backtick and slash characters - as a result,
translations from affected files have started to disappear as translators
run xgettext/msgmerge.
Instead of reverting the change and getting the crusty escaping back, we
will take this as an opportunity to stop inlining the XML altogether and
load it from a resource instead.
To facilitate that, add a small helper method that loads a D-Bus interface
description from a dedicated resource bundle.

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
