input fields in desktop entries/launcher properties dialogue lose focus
Status:
RESOLVED: WORKSFORME

Comments

Description Thomas Haenig 2013-08-01 07:17:51 CEST
Most of the time the input fields of the 'Launcher' Tab (Description, Command,
Working Directory, Comment) lose their focus to the 'Name' field on the
'General' Tab resulting in unintentionally overwriting the name of the
launcher.

Sometimes this does not happen though but I was not able to detect the
systematics behind.

But if I am fast enough I am always ever able to provoke the mentioned
behaviour.

If the time between clicking into one of the fields (say No.1) or opening the
tab 'Launcher' and clicking onto (another) field (say No.2) is below maybe half
a second one is able to at first see No.2 getting focus (border becomes fatter
and blue in my case) and shortly after this losing focus again. If one fails to
recognize this and starts typing the 'Name' field' of the 'General' tab is
overwritten instead.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open the properties dialogue of a (desktop) launcher by 'right click' => 'properties'
2. switch onto the 'Launcher' tab
3. within half a second of doing so select one of the input fields

Actual Results:  
a short time later the focus gets lost and if one then starts typing the 'Name'
field of the 'General' tab is beeing overwritten

Expected Results:  
focus should stay and the typed text should fill the chosen field

I first filed this as
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=832543

because the system is an OpenSuSE 12.3 with XFCE 4.10. Another user was able to reproduce this with thunar-1.6.3 and asked me to go upstream what I am doing here.

Confirmed, can reproduce on  debian stretch, xfce 4.12, thunar 1.6.10
Comment 2 Theo Linkspfeifer editbugs 2019-06-25 20:58:13 CEST
Can you reproduce this with 1.8? I cannot.
Comment 3 alexxcons editbugs 2019-06-25 22:47:04 CEST
Nope, cannot reproduce with 1.8.x,  possibly fixed by more recent gtk version.

Please feel free to reopen, if the bug shoud show again on 1.8.x or master !
