Now that all searches are async we can remove the code path for the
SearchSystem::search-completed signal which is no longer useful.
This patch ends up fixing the status text not being updated for when
there are no results.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675328
As shown in the previous commits, synchronous search is easily implemented
by the asynchronous search API. The only reason we still have a
synchronous search API is of historical reasons. Well, we're not a museum,
and git log can keep our fossils safe if need be....
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675328
To allow this to happen, we need to make sure that we don't overwrite the
previousResults when calling the async method. Note that this is a bug of
some sort, we were already using this synchronous style when a remote
search failed.

Pausing means that we will continue to use the same output file when
the keybinding is activated again. While useful to record a single

one the next time the keybinding is pressed.

Two nested scroll views were fighing with each other. The reason isn't
particularly important and has to do with some silliness involving
StAdjustment. The visible effect was that scrolling up and down when
in a summary item view would appear to be glitchy, and sometimes not
work at all.
To fix, make sure that the scroll view we don't care about is disabled
when in a summary mode.

We seem to have a lot of code that does something along the lines of:
if (condition)
actor.show();
else
actor.hide();
ClutterActor already has such a thing for exactly this purpose: the 'visible'
property. Use it instead of the mess above.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672272
We hide the content around displaying new search results to prevent
flickering, unfortunately, one side effect of hiding an actor is
losing key focus if it currently is on the that actor or any
child. This could happen in the case of async results showing up after
the user had moved focus to the search results.
This patch works around that issue by saving the key focus and
resetting it back after displaying the new async results.

To avoid messing up St.Buttons' internal state with a pointer grab,

Currently, click and drop events are handled by each WorkspaceThumbnail

Tweener uses a clutter timeline to manage all active animations
running at a given moment. The timeline is mopped up when no
animations are going any more.
Clutter requires timelines to have a finite duration, but since
animations can happen at any moment, no fixed duration can
accomodate the shell's needs.
To combat this problem, the tweener code picks a relatively
long duration: 1000 seconds. No string of animations should take
that long, so, in theory, that should be good enough.
Unfortunately, this tactic fails, in practice, when the user
suspends their machine, or VT switches. An animation can take
much longer than 1000 seconds (~16 minutes) to complete in those
cases. When the user resumes, or VT switches back the timeline
completes immediately (since it's already late) and tweener
never notices that the timeline stops ticking.
This commit changes the tweener timeline to automatically loop
back to 0 after completing, so that despite its fixed duration
property, it effectively never stops. Since the timeline loops,
its concept of elapsed time no longer increases monotonically,
so we now ignore it and track time ourselves with
GLib.get_monotonic_time().
This partially reverts commit

gnome-session moved away from using properties over DBus in 2008, which
means that the code in GNOME 3.0 never should have worked -- but it did,
which makes me suspect that it was a quirk of the GJS DBus implementation.

gnome-session eventually gets ported to GDBus, then we can switch back
to properties.

Bailing out of _sync() early if the application lost keyboard focus to
the shell can only be done on actual application focus changes. In
particular, doing this check on a switch to an empty workspace while

Reactive means that the actor is reachable from keyboard

In the workspace-collecting code we add a check to avoid collecting a

If the user was inactive while a notification was shown, we show the summary

Some modifiers like NumLock or ScrollLock don't make sense in

The hide animation causes hover notifications for the actors inside the
boxpointer. PopupBaseMenuItems, in particular, grab the keyboard focus on
hover notifications to enable keyboard navigation on menus. This, in turn,
breaks modal dialogs' keyboard navigation since key focus is taken away from a

Since input events aren't useful while menus are animating we just prevent
them from propagating.

With the recent keynav changes, the keyboard focus can now move
away from the search entry while a search is active. While we
keep the focus entry style while a search is active, we set the
cursor visibility depending on whether the entry has focus. This
doesn't seem very logical, so always request to show the cursor
when we appear focused.
Note that at least for now we are just expressing intent, as clutter
never draws the cursor for unfocused entries.
When canceling a search pressing Escape while the focus is on the
search entry we clear the entry, set its text to the hint and go back
to the previously selected tab. Make this the behavior also for when
the focus is on search results and not on the entry itself.

The preferred way to unmaximize/untile a window is by using a drag

We will allow applications to hook into shell's search by registering
a service which implements a well-known DBus interface.
"search-providers" is a reasonable directory name for applications to

used by open search providers - rename the latter to avoid confusion.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663125
Currently, asynchronous search providers are expected to call
startAsync() in getInitialResultSet()/getSubsearchResultSet(),
which will trigger async mode until the search is canceled or
updated. Switching between synchronous and asynchronous mode like
this makes asynchronous search an implementation detail, but being
transparent to the searchDisplay means that certain optimizations
don't work as expected. Namely, updating asynchronous search results
causes flickering, and the automatic selection never focuses
asynchronous results.
So change the API to require providers being either synchronous (with
the current getInitialResultSet()/getSubsearchResultSet() methods)
or asynchronous (with asynchronous variants), and handle asynchronous
providers explicitly in searchDisplay.

renderResults() updates the results set, determines the number of
results to display, retrieves the corresponding result metas and
adds a new results actor for each meta.

flicker-free rendering and control the selection - we want to keep
both features for asynchronous result metas which we are about to

An actor is removed from its parent after it emits the destroy signal,
so we can't just check if the notification stack has more than one
notification -- we need to check if there's a notification there
that is not the current one.
This was causing spew in the form of:
"this.notificationStack.get_children()[0]._delegate.setIconVisible
is not a function"
IconGrid items used to be square, so a single size value made
perfect sense. However, as contact search uses rectangular items,
using a single size is wrong - the allocated height ends up twice
the size of the visible height, which is particularly visible if
another provider displays results below contact results.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670148
The correct way to make an actor having the same size as another is
a ClutterBindConstraint. Connecting to 'allocation-changed' fails because
the allocation might not change even when 'width' and 'height' properties do.
This is the case of Main.uiGroup, used as parent container for zoomed
window clones.
In lightbox.js we bind also the position because in principle it could change,
even if currently only fullscreen lightboxes are used.
VPN secrets are stored by the plugins, that provide separate

The "extension" object is what I previously called the "helper" object.
It contains the extension importer object as well as the metadata object.
Things that were previously added on to the metadata (state, path, dir, etc.)
are now part of this new "extension" object.
With the new importer changes brought on by the extension prefs tool,
extensions are left without a way to import submodules at the global scope,
which would make them rely on techniques like:
var MySubModule;
function init(meta) {
MySubModule = meta.importer.mySubModule;
}
That is, there's now a lot more meaningless boilerplate that nobody wants
to write and nobody wants to reivew.
Let's solve this with a few clever hacks.
Allow extensions to get their current extension object with:
let extension = imports.misc.extensionUtils.getCurrentExtension();
As such, extensions can now get their own extension object before the
'init' method is called, so they can import submodules or do other things
at the module scope:
const MySubModule = extension.imports.mySubModule;
const dataPath = GLib.build_filenamev([extension.path, 'awesome-data.json']);

are actually being removed.
- When we have multiple monitors, a window on a secondary monitor is
on all workspaces, so it ends up in all workspaces _allWindows
lists, so we can't use previous presence in that list to determine
whether we need to go ahead and add the actor; allWindows is simply
the list of windows where we are listening to notify::minimized.

Since the application proxy is created asynchronously, at the time

According to the GIO docs, sections can have labels too. We support

If there's a single small window (e.g. empathy chat) in the overview, it
looks usable, because it's as big as outside of the overview, but when

In overview when closing a window and afterwards dragging a window it can

With GJS' GDBus implementation, we get the invocation paramters as an
array if we declare a method as async.
This is bad and not consistent with what GJS does for synchronous
methods, but it's the way it is, and other classes in gnome-shell
implement this correctly by exploding the array into its components in
the method implementation, but not the screenshot methods.
Also, we're supposed to return a value using the provided invocation
object, not with a callback now, so do that.

Commit 25948f214e replaced the old hardcoded scaling behavior of

Instead of using an St.Tooltip to show the app's name under the icon,
manually position a new St.Label ourselves. Make sure to keep the label

GTK+ also exports window-specific actions, by putting the object path
for the exported action group in the _DBUS_OBJECT_PATH X property.
We add this action group to the app's muxer with a 'win' prefix,
since that is what the exported menu expects. Whenever the focus
window changes, we update the window-specific actions of its
application, and emit notify::action-group to cause the app
menu to be updated.
GDBusActionGroup api has changed again, adapt to that.
Also, use a GActionMuxer to add the 'app.' prefix to actions,
instead of manually stripping it out of the action names.
In the future, the muxer will also contain per-window actions
with a 'win.' prefix.
By the time the window is first mapped and the app menu button is
synced, we may not have finished reading the menu. In that case,
connect to notify::menu and update accordingly.
Use the new GApplication support in ShellApp to create the application
menu. Supports plain (no state), boolean and double actions.
Includes a test application (as no other application uses GApplication
for actions)

The loop can exit with an interval of length one or one of
length zero. In the first case it is correct to check which side
of the interval to return, in the second case no comparison should
be made (since there is only one possible value).
In practice, this usually results in one comparison more than needed,
but in some cases (when the position was past the end of the array),
would call the comparator with undefined.

Previously the code in _accessPointAdded was iterating over the
the network list to find a good place, and at that time, added both
the network to the list and the item to the menu. When I refactored

network in the list.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666429

By using Main.queueDeferredWork, we can ensure that most of the
menu contents (in particular, the heaviest parts like the list of
wifi networks) are not updated immediately as we receive signals
from NetworkManager. Instead, the menu is rebuilt some time later,
or as soon as the user opens the menu.
This means that it is no longer needed to optimize for the
access-point-added case, replacing a lot of buggy code with a safer
call to _queueCreateSection, which in turn should ensure that the
more menu, if existing, is always at the end and that at most 5 networks
are visible outside it.

The window overlays may be shown erroneously if hideOverlays is

When in overview, window labels flicker or are temporarily hidden on a
number of occasions - when simply clicking around the area the windows
are displayed in, dragging a window, sliding in the workspace list,

When placing networks in _createSection, we were taking in
consideration that _activeNetwork is always first, by adding 1,
but then kept this offset also for networks following it (normally,
all of them, since _activeNetwork is also the most recently used),
that instead should not be affected by the movement.
This resulted in the menu showing 4 networks + More... instead of
5.

The three boxes for the ripple animation are visible when created. This
means that the drag and drop code that searches for an actor to handle
the drag can find the ripple boxes instead of the Activities button or
hot corner. The latter can handle drag and drop while the ripple boxes
can't.
This is only a problem if drag and drop is attempted before the ripple
animation has been played: the boxes are made invisible at the end of
the animation. The fix is to just create the boxes invisible.
Instead of leaving the tray covering the whole last pixel row when it's

If workspaces-only-on-primary is false, workspaces should be shown

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652580
Extra workspaces are special, in that they collect windows from
all workspaces for a particular monitor. This matches the default

When installing an extension at runtime, we accidentally swapped the 'type'

The message tray focus grabbing code sets the stage input
mode to Shell.StageInputMode.FOCUSED when the overview is
not visible. This ensures the stage window's input
region gets reshaped to include the notification chrome,
and so that input events get delivered appropriately to
the notification that grabbed focus.
The message tray code never tries to restore the stage input
mode later. Instead, the code relies on the stage input
mode (and input region) getting reset to
shell.StageInputMode.NORMAL automatically when focus moves
back from the shell chrome to a window in the user's session.
It's not really correct to set the stage input mode based
on the overview's visibility, though. At the login screen,
even though no overview is visible, the stage input mode is
Shell.StageInputMode.FULLSCREEN which is sufficient
for the notification's needs, Furthermore,
Shell.StageInputMode.FOCUSED is insufficient for the login
dialog's needs since the login dialog isn't considered
part of the shell's chrome and won't get included in the
stage input region.
This commit changes the message tray code to only set the
stage input mode if the current stage input mode isn't good enough,
rather than assuming the input mode isn't good enough just because
the overview is hidden.

Because we were sorting the Alt+Tab list by user_time rather than

(nowhere to copy from, nowhere to paste to)

Right now we show "(or swipe finger)" at the user login prompt
any time we detect a fingerprint reader.
Checking for the presense of a fingerprint reader isn't really
sufficient for knowing if it is appropriate or not to show the
message, though. Often, a user's fingerprint won't be enrolled
in the system even if the machine has a fingerprint reader.
In this scenario, we end up in a situation where the code will
fade out the message right after fading it in, or worse, fade
out the message while fading it in.
The former case looks flickery and bad, and the latter case
causes the login dialog to lock up since it never completes its
"show prompt" animation and we don't procede with the login
process until after that animation.
If a user is enrolled in the system, the fingerprint pam module
tries to tell the user to swipe their finger. We never show the
user that message because it's redundant with our own "(or swipe
finger)" message and because it uses techy words like "UPEK" and
"TouchStrip".
This commit changes the code to defer showing "(or swipe
finger)" until the fingerprint pam module forwards us its own
message. This makes it less likely we'll show the message when
fingerprint login won't work, and also removes the fingerprint
animation from the critical path "show prompt" animation.

Right-click menus in the dash can be dismissed by clicking anywhere
outside the menu. However, if a window clone is located beneath the

The cause of this unexpected behavior is that window previews are
activated on button-release, which is delivered to the preview after
the menu releases its grab on button-press. Use a ClutterClickAction
instead and let Clutter do the right thing, i.e. only trigger a
'clicked' signal when a button-release event is matched by a

When workspace "previews" in the overview were just tiny gray

directly between workspaces (by switching workspaces when dragging

Devices are represented as susdut, not susbut (i.e. the percentage
is a double rather than a boolean) - apparently the wrong signature
works, but correct it anyway.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660122
This ensures that this._clickedSummaryItem is always unset correctly.
Because we disconnect the signals that have _adjustSummaryBoxPointerPosition()
as a callback when unsetting this._clickedSummaryItem, we no longer call
setPosition() on this._summaryBoxPointer after it is hidden. Calling
setPosition() shows the box pointer again, which previously resulted in
an empty box pointer staying behind when a notification associated with
a tray icon was clicked.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659862
Not doing so is considered as a bug as we don't accept the context right away.
It leads to tp-glib returning directly from the AddDispatchOperation() D-Bus
call and so automatically approve the channel if the Shell is the only

This avoids unnecessarily removing and resetting the icon in the notifications.
This fixes the new chat notification sliding down and up slightly when new
messages are received.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659768
Previously, when the avatar changed, we would not update the summary icon
for the source at all and would only update the notification icon when the
next message was received. Instead, we should update both immediately upon
recieving the signal that the avatar has changed.

This code was never tested very well, and has several problems

Clutter 1.4 had a bug where it would wrap when it wasn't supposed to, and we

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659633
While we allow for arbitrary modifiers in keybindings, both the
alt-tab and ctrl-alt-tab popups close when ALT is not present in
the modifier mask, resulting in ALT being de-facto hardcoded.
Instead, pass the actual modifier mask when invoking the popups.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645200
Applying the "dim window" effect to the MetaWindowActor has two avantages:
first it avoids triggering bugs where ClutterOffscreenEffect doesn't handle
clone paint correctly. Second, it avoids showing the window as dimmed in
alt-Tab and the overview, which is weird.
The small downside of this is that the shadow becomes slightly gray when
the window dimmed, which is wrong - if we switched from blending with gray
to a combination of desaturation and darkening, this problem wouldn't
happen.
Revert out the addition of startY to the shader, since we don't need it
and fix the application of alpha, since we need to handle alpha correctly
for the shadow.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659634
When the active AP disappears, it is possible to receive the
"access-point-removed" signal before the "notify::active-ap" (as
dbus-glib + libnm-glib property notifications are not reliable).
In that case, we would remove the AP from the network object, thus
an attempt to update the UI would create an item for an empty
network.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658150
Current code is sometime attempting to create menu items for wifi
networks that have no visible AP. I have no idea why this is
happening, but it should fix the symptoms and avoid exceptions.

The previous wrapping code hardcoded a width in pixels, making it
non-text-zoom-friendly. Specify a CSS width in pts, and fix the

The keyboard status item doesn't derive from SystemStatusButton, since
it doesn't use an icon. But this meant it wasn't getting the right
class name, and so was using the full-width menu title highlight
rather than the small one. Fix that.
Currently entries' 'activate' signal is ignored, so hitting enter
does not have any effect, even if all required information has been
entered.
Instead, connect to the 'activate' signal so that hitting enter
behaves as if the "OK" button had been pressed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659133
Currently network dialogs don't focus password entries, which means
that rather than entering their password directly, users first have
to click the entry (or tab around the dialog).
Instead, put keyboard focus on the first entry that requires user
input.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659133
As dialog buttons used to "steal" the initial key focus, the polkit
dialog delayed focusing the password entry. With buttons no longer
overwriting the manually set focus, this is no longer necessary.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659133
ModalDialog provides a method to set the initial focus. However,
when adding buttons, the initial focus is always set to the last
button, thus overwriting a previously set manual focus.
Instead, only set the initial key focus if setInitialKeyFocus()
has not been called manually before.

The way the window dimmer shader is applied will cause rendering errors with

We don't want the tray bar to open/close quickly when adding a chat because

In a normal user session you can't have more than one
popup, because the popup is modal and we don't allow
the popup to show up when there are other modals.
In a GDM session, however, the login dialog is modal, and
we want a popup, so we don't have that same check.

Users depend on being able to switch focus between the panel

Simplify the layout in rightBox by getting rid of statusBox, and just

Legacy trayicons are mostly gone, so remove some of the special-casing

Also, fix panel.addToStatusArea() to interpret its "position" relative

The underline highlights on the panel menu items normally have a 100ms
transition between highlighted and unhighlighted, but the panel corner
graphics can't do that, so we hacked the Activities button and user

rightmost item any more. Fix this by modifying the CSS from the code
instead.

It does not make a great amount of sense to have this function

The style of the top bar's corners is bound to the style of the
corresponding button; we used to hardcode this association, but
as the login mode does have a different layout, the button is now

Unfortunately, some containers take the text direction into account
when ordering their children, while some don't, so the current

findUrl() was seeing strings like "You have 1 new message in
foo@example.com/Inbox" and finding the URL
"[http://]example.com/Inbox". Require that URLs either start at the
start of the string, or are preceded by whitespace or an open
paren/quote/etc.
(Since JS doesn't have look-behind assertions like perl does, we have
to actually match the URL-preceding character in the regex, and then
adjust the result findUrl returns accordingly.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636252
Although "x:5" could theoretically be a URL with scheme "x" and path
"5", it probably isn't. Only URLify strings that use the "authority"

This patch fixes the "apps vanish from alt-TAB bug".
If a "package system" rips away and possibly replaces .desktop files
at some random time, we have historically used inotify to detect this
and reread state (in a racy way, but...). In GNOME 2, this was
generally not too problematic because the menu widget was totally
separate from the list of windows - and the data they operate on was
disjoint as well.
In GNOME 3 we unify these, and this creates architectural problems
because the windows are tied to the app.
What this patch tries to do is, when rereading the application state,
if we have a running application, we keep that app around instead of
making a new instance. This ensures we preserve any state such as the
set of open windows.
This requires moving the running state into ShellAppSystem. Adjust
callers as necessary, and while we're at it drop the unused "contexts"
stuff.
This is just a somewhat quick band-aid; a REAL fix would require us
having low-level control over application installation. As long as
we're on top of random broken tar+wget wrappers, it will be gross.
A slight future improvement to this patch would add an explicit
"merge" between the old and new data. I think probably we always keep
around the ShellApp corresponding to a given ID, but replace its
GMenuTreeEntry.

The current user status menu allow to set the session status,
which also influences the IM status when signed in with
mission-control. However, the way it is presented to the user
makes it hard to figure out how the statuses interact or that
there are two distinct status in the first place.
Therefore, use a separate control for each status, and update the
overall look to match gnome-contacts.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652837
Given that our menus contain at most two columns, all switch widgets
in menus end up in the last columns, and thus aligned with the right
menu edge.
However, the updated user status menu will contain a section which
ignores the menu's column layout, so the switch might end up in
the middle of the menu if the overall width is determined by said
section.
At least for now, we always want the switch to align with the end,
so just expand switch menu items rather than adding an option.

to another toplevel menu.
This feature will be used to implement combo box menu items.

We haven't actually been calling the top-right menu "status menu" for

Doing this rather than overdrawing a black rectangle saves us

In order for transformation animations to look good, they need to be
incremental and have some order to them (e.g., fade out hidden items,
then shrink to close the void left over).
Chaining animations in this way can be error prone and wordy using just
Tweener callbacks.
This commit adds a new set of classes to help:
- Task. encapsulates schedulable work to be run in a specific scope.
- ConsecutiveBatch. runs a series of tasks in order and completes
when the last in the series finishes.
- ConcurrentBatch. runs a set of tasks at the same time and completes
when the last to finish completes.
- Hold. prevents a batch from completing the pending task until
the hold is released.
The tasks associated with a batch are specified in a list at batch
construction time as either task objects or plain functions.
Batches are task objects, themselves, so they can be nested.
For now, these APIs are temporarily getting staged in a gdm/ specific
subdirectory so they will be available for use by GDM. They aren't
specific to GDM, or even to doing animations, though, so the API may eventually
move in some form or another to a more general location. Alternatively, the
APIs may ultimately get dropped entirely and replaced by something else.

A modal dialog in the shell blocks anything but that dialog from
receiving user input. Applications within the session and other
parts of UI are rendered non-reactive.
When GDM gets changed to use the shell for its greeter, the user

block access to the panel menus, etc.
This commit adds a shellReactive property that makes the ModalDialog
class continue to block access to applications, but allow the user
to interact with the shell itself.

Right now, when a user clicks on the panel clock, a menu pops up with a
calendar and a list of events from the user's schedule. The list of
events only makes sense from within a user's session, however.
As part of the prep work for making the shell a platform for the login
screen, this commit makes the events list optional.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657082
The theme currently hard codes the minimum size of the calendar
menu to make sure there's a designated area for events
(even if there isn't anything currently scheduled).
A side-effect of the hard coded minimum width is that
if the events area is hidden, the menu ends up much
bigger than the calendar. We don't currently ever hide
the events area, but we will in the future.
This commit moves the min-width restriction from the menu
specifically to the events area.

The chrome layer contains the user interface elements (e.g.,
the panel) that disappear when fullscreen windows get displayed.
Panel menus are currently put in the chrome layer, but don't need
to be, since they are only displayed when the user is interacting
with the shell and not a fullscreen application.
Putting panel menus in the chrome layer does mean they will get
stacked below shell interface elements that aren't in the chrome layer,
though.
This commit changes panel menus to be on the same layer as most other
shell elements, so they get properly stacked above those elements.

All the system status menus in the panel offer a
menu item to jump to a relevant part of the
control-center.
This means each status icon has the same, or nearly the
same bit of code to:
- Add a new "action" menu item and listen for its activation.
- Hide the overview if it's showing when the menu item is activated
- Find the relevant control-center panel from its desktop file
- Launch the control-center to the relevant panel
This commit consolidates all those details in a new method,
addSettingsAction. This refactoring reduces code duplication and
slight inconsistencies in the code resulting from that duplication.
It will also make it easier in subsequent commits to hide settings menu
items when the shell is used in the login screen.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657082
A separator only makes sense if there are items on both
sides of it. There is quite a lot of code written
throughout the shell that manages the process of showing

implementation to dynamically hide or show separators as
appropriate, so the callers don't have to deal with it.

The order of indicators depends on the order of calls to
Panel.addToStatusArea. To have it consistent across enabling and

This way all standard indicators have a shell implementation
provided, which prevents issues with extensions enabling/disabling
