Description Cor Nouws 2013-10-20 19:29:08 UTC
- Start template manager
- click New folder
- hit Escape to close popup
- click on folder/category
 > no sign of selection
- now click again on folder/category
 > now the folder is selected


this happens with other actions too

came upon this while attempting to submit this as new.  I have replicated this bug as well.  after an action the window seems to remain in focus, but it does not process the next input whether on folder selection or even to close window. Clicking anywhere in the window allows the next input event to be processed.

trying to look into this some more.  I'm somewhat crippled because I'm new to LO and I have not yet set up a proper debugging env.   my guess is that this may be a development process glitch that is already known to those working on the template manager.  At the moment this glitch appears to be endemic to the template manager.  I'll note that this may be a dispatch / transaction manager issue -- but that is only my intuition , perhaps someone more familiar will jump in here

elevating status to high.  The glitch seems to be caught and handled by SfxDispatcher under normal run of program; under GDB: breaking at function SfxTemplateManagerDlg::OnTemplateImport causes OS (Ubuntu 12.04) to flag process as unresponsive -- issuing wait/kill dialog 

Will run debugger again with same break point and attach output.

it appears that upon the function SfxTemplateManagerDlg::TBXViewHdl breaks and returns, it is handed off to Link::Call and then to Toolbox::Click and then Toolbox::MouseButtonDown 

<snip>
(gdb) n
SfxTemplateManagerDlg::TBXViewHdl (this=0x7fffffffc280) at /home/marc/libreoffice/sfx2/source/doc/templatedlg.cxx:497
497	        break;
(gdb) n
514	    return 0;
(gdb) n
515	}
(gdb) n
Link::Call (this=0xe5af28, pCaller=0xe5aad0) at /home/marc/libreoffice/include/tools/link.hxx:124
124	}
(gdb) n
ToolBox::Click (this=0xe5aad0) at /home/marc/libreoffice/vcl/source/window/toolbox2.cxx:455
455	}
(gdb) n
ToolBox::MouseButtonDown (this=0xe5aad0, rMEvt=...) at /home/marc/libreoffice/vcl/source/window/toolbox.cxx:4016

<snip>

so , I think this is the cause of this glitch, that upon returning, the process is handed off and falls through to the Toolbox::MouseButtonDown function which is waiting for a MouseButtonDown event before proceeding ... that explains the behaviour I have observed that any 'mousedown' event returns normal control to the child and parent window process ...

CONFIRMED on LO Version: 4.2.0.0.beta1 + Ubuntu 12.04.3

Comment 7 Cor Nouws 2014-02-04 13:09:23 UTC
setting summary back to readable for 'normal humans' ;)

(Marc changed it to " hangs on function SfxTemplateManagerDlg::TBXViewHdl, which, upon returning tumbles through Link::Call; Toolbox::Click; Toolbox::MouseButtonDown "  earlier )
