Description Douglas Pollock CLA 2005-08-05 11:06:04 EDT 
HEAD, GTK+ 2.6.7, KDE 3.4.1, X.org 6.8.2, Linux 2.6.12  
  
When I type some characters in the preference page filter, a drop-down menu (I  
believe this is a shell?) appears.  I'm not sure how this menu/shell is being  
defined, but it is causing problems on Linux.  Keyboard focus disappears when  
the shell is visible, and the main workbench window deactivates.  This means  
that none of the following keys work: Tab, Esc, arrow keys, or any ASCII  
characters.  This means the shell can't be dismissed by the keyboard, nor can  
the filter be further narrowed.  
  
Moving the preference dialog with the mouse causes the shell/menu to  
disappear.

Tod, can you route this please?
Comment 2 shujie liao CLA 2005-08-05 16:14:04 EDT 
It's intentional that moving dialog causes the popup shell unvisible.
Tod and I will try to figure out other problems.
Comment 3 Douglas Pollock CLA 2005-08-08 11:41:54 EDT 
I would like to recommend a rollback of Bug 102081 for 3.2 M1.  This problem 
is not trivial to fix, and seems to be quite bad on Linux.

Dani, cc'ing you in case you have some general wisdom with
pop-ups/focus/platforms etc..
Comment 5 Dani Megert CLA 2005-09-12 10:06:16 EDT 
For the content assistant we wrote our own closer that tracks special keys so
that e.g. the proposal popup can be closed with "Esc" while the keyboard focus
is still in the StyledText widget or that Tab transfers the focus to the
proposal popup.

With the changes to resolve bug 102081, the drop down combo is no longer used.  So this bug is now invalid.
