Bug 80483 – ion2 and firefox -- Focus does not seem to be set correctly when there are multiple Firefox windows in a frame

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Brandon Philips 2005-02-02 09:03:38 UTC]

I have been experiencing this bug in Ion2 and it is driving me nuts.  Basically any time you type in a form, or open a new window the focus of that window just doesn't take.

3.9 Focus does not seem to be set correctly when there are multiple Mozilla (Firefox) windows in a frame.

Get a gtk1 build (readme) of the program. Either gtk2 or Mozilla/gtk2 is broken and does not handle the WM_TAKE_FOCUS protocol correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open ion2
2. Start firefox
3. Open a new window
4. Try typing in the first window

or

1. Type something into a form with a text field
2. Have it post and return to the same page
3. You are now in type ahead mode.
4. Open and close a new window to get focus back and get out of type ahead
Actual Results:  
Can't type or put into type ahead mode even when focused on a text box.

Has anyone looked at this issue?  I am willing to help debug it, but X11 debugging is an unknown art to me.  Can anyone point me in the right direction to start debugging this?

This issue has finally been solved in GTK2.  Woohoo.

Here is the bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109246

Here is the patch to GTK2 HEAD 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=46042&action=view

I guess this bug can be closed once it makes it into a release.
