Description BDF 2022-05-13 06:13:28 UTC
Description:
When you create an object, select an animation, change the activation point from 'on click' to anything else and change the window BEFORE you selected the new mode, the drop down menu stays on the other window

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add an animation to an object
2. Open a drop down menu in the animation menu in the sidebar (eg. for to switch it's category or it's activation moment)
3. Switch to a different window

Actual Results:
The UI element stays

Expected Results:
The UI element should vanish


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
- You have to CLICK on a different Window (Alt + Tab does not work)
- It seems to work with every drop down menu in the sidebar (so also in eg. the slide animation menu)
- The UI element stays on top and active above the current window. So if you click on the UI element, you change to what you clicked on and not on the content in the window


I will test this bug on my windows PC (hopefully) later today. This might be a Linux/KDE/X11 only bug and surrounded by a Somebody Else's Problem Field for LibreOffice itself.

Impress - UI element on top of other image

The image shows the bug. The drop down menu was opened and I switched to a different window. In this example it's the web browser with YouTube.

Impress - testing file for bug 149065

To reproduce the bug:
1) Open the file and go to the animations section
2) Open any drop down menu in the sidebar (eg. for the animation type or when it should start. It seems that every other drop down menu shows the same behaviour as well)
3) Switch window by clicking on a different program in the task bar
Comment 3 BDF 2022-05-13 06:23:39 UTC
I tested the same bug on the same system with:
Graphics Platform: Wayland

UPDATE
- Wayland suffers from the same bug, but Alt + Tab is not blocked
- Alt + Tab seems to be blocked in general on X11. So if you are on the new window and you still see Impress' UI element on the top you can not switch back to Impress with Alt + Tab

I tested this on Windows 10 with LibreOffice 7.3.x and the problem does not exist there. Neither with Alt + Tab nor with clicking on an open window.

I can confirm this behavior with the gtk3 backend. It does not happen with kf5.

Opening any dropdown from the sidebar and switching to another application by clicking it in the taskbar will retain the options from the dropdown list.

The bug does not happen with "gen" either. So it's gtk3-only.
Comment 7 Caolán McNamara 2022-10-06 13:33:23 UTC
You'll see the same effect with gtk3-demo and other things using gtk. I don't think its under our control to do anything about it. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/2670 is likely the upstream issue about it
