Steps to reproduce: 1) enable preference "Use shortcut to focus visible window" (bug also occurs without it, but is easier to observe like this) 2) open drop-down terminal 3) give focus to another window (e.g. press Alt-Tab) 4) try to make drop-down terminal visible again (keyboard shortcut or single click on tray icon) Actual results: terminal does not appear, even after repeatedly pressing the keyboard shortcut Expected results: terminal should re-apppear Workarounds: 1) click on the tray icon twice - or - 2) disable preference "Use shortcut to focus visible window" and press keyboard shortcut twice Build: This happened the first time with version 0.8.0. I'm running Arch Linux. Downgrading to 0.6.92 fixes this bug.
Hi, The preference "Use shortcut to focus visible window" generally only makes sense if you drop-down window does not disappear when focusing another window. Does it disappear? But still, for me the window is showing/hiding fine even with this option enabled. What is your DE? X11 or Wayland? Could you also try the git version: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfce4-terminal-git/?
Hi, thanks for the fast reply. Dropdown disappears when I focus another window. I installed wayland once but only use X11. Actually the bug doesn't appear when I us a mouse click to focus another window and when a popup window appears (which hides the dropdown terminal). I tried the git version, no change. I read in the commit log, that Shift-up/down arrows should be working again, but these only output the letters A and B for me.
Ah, indeed, I can see the bug if using Alt+Tab to switch windows. Will look into it, thanks. You have to set MiscUseShiftArrowsToScroll option to TRUE in your terminal config to make Shift+arrows scroll the contents.
No, if fact git version (this commit specifically: https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/commit/?id=7c68c45e7a3ade3741653c3170059d48d0a9eaa5) fixes the issue for me. Are you sure you've tried the git version? Please note that you have to close all running terminal instances in order to run a newly installed one. You can verify the version in About dialog - it should be 0.8.0-git-a5d2112 for the current one.
Yep I'm sure it's that version. Checked with about window and http://askubuntu.com/questions/476641/how-can-i-get-the-name-of-the-current-terminal-from-command-line Also got Shift-Up to work with the config entry
Okay... What's your DE again?
Xfce 4.12
Could you please try https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/commit/?id=f778632fe4ea3c7483f2bff2ba3f619bae48f286? It might help your issue, I think.
Thank you. Yes, this is a fix.
Great! Thanks for the update.
