Summary:	the window manager looses a popup window

Description Sylvain BERTRAND 2013-06-04 16:40:04 UTC

On GNU/Linux Debian ubuntu 13.04 (32bits or 64bits), using the official 3.8.1 claws mail or the  PPA 3.9.1 claws mail, the window managers (gnome 3 or unity or openbox(lxde)) do loose some popup windows. Have to kill the application.

To reproduce, try to configure a filter, you should "loose" a popup in the process, the popup is unresponsive and you are then stuck. It did happen for several different popups.

re-opened because I modified the wrong bug report!!

Comment 2 Paul 2013-06-10 09:04:47 UTC

Tried with lxde and Claws 3.9.2 and it works fine for me.

I suspect that, if anything, it's mishandling of modal windows in unity, and that rather than losing a window it's actually a modal window that wrongly goes behind another window, thus making the presented window appear to be unresponsive.

Comment 3 Sylvain BERTRAND 2013-06-10 12:46:45 UTC

This is not specific to unity. As I wrote down, it seems all window managers are affected. What I forgot to write down, sylpheed (the "other one") is affected by the same bug (evolution is not).

Comment 4 Paul 2013-06-10 12:53:14 UTC

I saw what you wrote but, nevertheless, not all window managers are affected. Of the 3 you listed, I tried lxde and could not reproduce the problem.

Comment 5 Paul 2013-06-10 12:54:19 UTC

evolution is gtk3. sylpheed, like claws-mail is gtk2.

Comment 6 Sylvain BERTRAND 2013-06-10 12:57:03 UTC

Then it would be GNU/Linux Debian Ubuntu specific, with high suspicion on their gtk2 build.

Comment 7 Paul 2013-06-10 13:10:58 UTC

This report could be relevant:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/overlay-scrollbar/+bug/903302

Do you have the overlay-scrollbar packages installed?

Comment 8 Sylvain BERTRAND 2013-06-10 13:35:56 UTC

Tested: popup windows now responsive after full overlay-gtk removal.

Great work!

moving the bug to proper faulty components.
