A funny little big that is barely worth to be mentioned. Open Thunar. Type some text to trigger the search popup. Try to close the window via the button in the right top window corner. System: Xubuntu 18.10 64 bit
Thanks for reporting ! I can reproduce the bug on 1.8.2 and master Not sure if thunar or exo (which implements the search widget) is to blame .. to be investigated.
Not sure this is an exo bug, this is also reproducible on xfwm4-settings even though it uses GtkTreeView.
Same with detailed list view which does not use exo-view.
(In reply to Theo Linkspfeifer from comment #3) > Same with detailed list view which does not use exo-view. Also reproducible with context-menu: right click somewhere then try alt+f4, it doesn't work. I think there is nothing we can do, this a famous x11/gtk limitation: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/347337/why-keyboard-shortcuts-do-not-work-when-a-sub-menu-is-activated
Would it be fixed with a Xfce wayland compositor? I am asking just out of interest.
However, this is about mouse input, not keyboard input. Nemo allows the user to close the window in the described scenario, so this bug should be fixable.

You're right, on a second look I see that minimize and maximize buttons still work, it's like the close button is sending the event to kill the window but it's ignored, so now I don't think it's a device grab. However, with the attached sample it's possible to reproduce this bug, so it's either a problem with gtk or xfwm4.
I just tested with openbox, same problem and like you said this is not reproducible with nemo, so not an xfwm4 bug. I suspect nemo has some kind of workaround for this.
A click inside or outside the window hides the search bar, but a click on the window title bar does not. Maybe this general problem needs to be resolved. Bug 15106 falls into the same category.
