The settings manager can be closed using the "escape" key. As soon as you open some settings dialog and give it focus, window manager settings for example, the escape key won't close the window anymore.
Ok, this is a bit of a wild guess, but if you look at gtkplug.c at http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gtk%2B/trunk/gtk/gtkplug.c?view=markup you see: 753 static gboolean 754 gtk_plug_key_press_event (GtkWidget *widget, 755 GdkEventKey *event) 756 { 757 if (GTK_WIDGET_TOPLEVEL (widget)) 758 return GTK_WIDGET_CLASS (gtk_plug_parent_class)->key_press_event (widget, event); 759 else 760 return FALSE; 761 } Maybe it's that as soon as the socket widget has focus, the key press is passed on to the plug, but the plug isn't the toplevel window, and so nothing happens?
Works for me in rc1. In 4.6.0 embbeded dialogs will be disabled anyway.
Corsac is right about 4.6.0 of course, but for the record: on my gentoo machine I could reproduce the bug, but on my Debian one it works as expected. Possibly related to gtk versions? Debian: 2.12.12 Gentoo: 2.14.7
Hmhm, unlikely: ii libgtk2.0-0 2.14.7-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface library
This still works with Ubuntu and GTK 2.24.25... how's this looking elsewhere?
Seems to works in gtk3 version. Closing old bugreports
