Description Van Gale 2003-08-08 01:33:59 UTC
Without a gtk2 USE flag, mozilla 1.4-r3 seems to work fine for me.  However,
with the gtk2 USE flag it gets very flaky after accessing the preferences menu.
 Flaky means that menus appear on mouseover (don't have to click on them) and
the keyboard seems disabled.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="gtk2" emerge mozilla
2. Run mozilla and open the preferences dialog (Edit -> Preferences...)
3. Hit the cancel button
4. Try to open preferences dialog again

Actual Results:  
The preferences dialog disappears.  The "Edit" menu choice on the menubar is
raised, as if it thinks the mouse is over it.  Running the mouse over it opens
the Edit menu without clicking.  The keyboard seems disabled (for instance, I
can no longer type in a web page textarea field).

Finally, I can no longer open the preferences dialog.


Expected Results:  
Displayed the preferences dialog.


If I close all mozilla windows and re-open, everything is back to normal (at
least until I open preferences again).

I'm not sure what other gtk2 programs I'm running, but I haven't seen this type
of behaviour in anything else.  My window manager is fluxbox.

Works fine here - I can open and cancel it many times via either the mouse
or keyboard.  Mind posting output of 'emerge info' ?

Sure, here's my emerge info (ccache turned on now, it wasn't when I was doing my builds... and not sure how the -O3 is in my CFLAGS twice):

Today, (Aug 24) was a big upgrade for Gnome in x86.  gtk+ was upgraded to 2.2.1-r1 from 2.2.1 and this (or at least one of the other upgrades) seems to have fixed this problem :)
Comment 4 MAL 2003-08-28 06:13:52 UTC
I have exactly the same problem, same Mozilla, Fluxbox 0.1.14, GTK+ 2.2.1-r1.

It happens to me when another GTK+ window pops up over Mozilla while i'm using it, (such as gaim message windows).  I click on Mozilla again, and cannot enter any text.

If I then minimise and restore the mozilla window, I can type into text fields again.

I have also experienced the same effect as the reporter of this bug, (mouse over menus opens automatically, can't click on anything, can't type), but minimising (with a keyboard shortcut), and restoring fixes it.  It seems totally random when it happens.

I also have other problems with mozilla, mail crashing randomly, some preferences won't save.

Does this still occur?
Comment 6 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-07 20:10:59 UTC
No response from poster, and we're on much newer versions, assuming fixed
