From b82784ee46f05d6c42d6dc529222d42524e1cdc6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jasper St. Pierre" Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2013 22:33:47 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] display: Don't focus the no-focus-window when sending WM_TAKE_FOCUS to a globally active window Clients like on-screen keyboards try not to take focus when the user clicks on their window by setting the Input hint to false. However, due to GTK+ and GDK bugs, the public API for setting the Input hint to false don't remove WM_TAKE_FOCUS from WM_PROTOCOLS, unintentionally putting them into Globally Active mode. These clients also expect that since they don't want to take focus, they want the focus to remain on the existing window. In this case, for clients like on-screen keyboards, it's so they can send synthesized keyboard events to the focused window. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710296 --- src/core/display.c | 19 ------------------- 1 file changed, 19 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/core/display.c b/src/core/display.c index 7b1411926..c6620ac3b 100644 --- a/src/core/display.c +++ b/src/core/display.c @@ -5730,25 +5730,6 @@ meta_display_request_take_focus (MetaDisplay *display, meta_topic (META_DEBUG_FOCUS, "WM_TAKE_FOCUS(%s, %u)\n", window->desc, timestamp); - if (window != display->focus_window) - { - /* The "Globally Active Input" window case, where the window - * doesn't want us to call XSetInputFocus on it, but does - * want us to send a WM_TAKE_FOCUS. - * - * We can't just set display->focus_window to @window, since we - * we don't know when (or even if) the window will actually take - * focus, so we could end up being wrong for arbitrarily long. - * But we also can't leave it set to the current window, or else - * bug #597352 would come back.
