Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 117498
OO.o menus use incorrect window type
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:31:14 UTC
Seemingly all menus created within OpenOffice.org applications, such as those from the File/Edit menu bar as well as drop downs for font selection, are created using the wrong wm-spec¹ window type. Rather than be identified as menus with _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE² set to _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_MENU, they instead appear as _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_UTILITY. As you can see from the following description, this is clearly the wrong window type: > _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_UTILITY indicates a small persistent utility window, such as a palette or toolbox. It is distinct from type TOOLBAR because it does not correspond to a toolbar torn off from the main application. It's distinct from type DIALOG because it isn't a transient dialog, the user will probably keep it open while they're working. Windows of this type may set the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR hint indicating the main application window.

@ pl: Something for you?
WHich indicates that they should not be _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_MENU, but _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DROPDOWN_MENU or _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_POPUP_MENU. Which are defined since EWMH 1.4 which is still not final but in draft state. But whatever, I guess it will be standard at some point.
@ pl: How to proceed?
getting rid of value "enhancement" for field "severity". For enhancement the field "issue type" shall be used.
