Description stephan.wunderlich 2006-03-22 17:01:04 UTC 
1. open a new document of arbitrary kind
2. make some changes, e.g. insert some text
3. press "Alt-F4"

=> the "Save Changes" dialog appears but doesn't have the focus so it can't be
operated via keyboard.

This dialog gets the focus when "Alt-Q" or the "window-closer" is used tho

Only Linux seems to be affected and here maybe only the combination "Gnome 2.14"
with "Metacity"
Comment 1 joaniediggs 2006-09-17 22:05:46 UTC 
This issue is present in Gnome 2.16 as well -- at least in Ubuntu Edgy Eft.

While it seems minor in general, for users who are blind it's not an ideal
behavior.  When you press Alt F4 (assuming you have unsaved changes) you expect
the dialog in question to appear.  Because it does not get focus, screen readers
don't announce its presence and the user who is blind might be left wondering
what, if anything, occurred as a result of the key being pressed.

adjusting target due to limited resources

MT: Fixed in OOo 3.0, and probably much earlier...

Comment 6 ccheney 2009-01-17 21:52:50 UTC 
I can still reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 8.10 (w/ metacity) with official Sun
OpenOffice.org 3.0.0.
Comment 7 joaniediggs 2009-01-18 22:34:37 UTC 
Confirmed in OpenSolaris 2008.11 (dev repo) with Metacity. If I enable Compiz,
however, the dialog does gain focus automatically.
Comment 8 malte_timmermann 2009-03-04 14:25:23 UTC 
OOo 3.2
Comment 9 williewalker 2009-03-26 22:47:49 UTC 
Note - this might have something to do with Metacity's focus-stealing-prevention
code.  We wrestled with this in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343897#c12.  Comment #12 (which is
where the previous link will take you) suggests you call
gdk_x11_window_set_user_time to help fix the bug (or at least the bug we were
having in Orca).
Comment 10 philipp.lohmann 2009-08-26 19:28:11 UTC 
gdk_x11_window_set_user_time is used in the meantime in the gtk plugin - and
that indeed seems to have solved the problem. However lately the kde3 plugin was
erroneously used also on gnome desktops. The kde3 and generic plugins did not
have a special workaround for metacity, which I now got into them, too. So the
gtk plugin as well as the gen and kde plugins show the correct behaviour: the
message box gets the focus.

fixed in CWS vcl105
