#752 Slit focus in rc3

[Gaspar Fernández]

When I focus the slit, I can't type. It types on the focused window. But when I have no windows in the desktop, I can do it. In rc2, it works properly.

I have wmcalc dockapp and I like to focus with mouse and directly type over it.

Thanks

Sorry, I don't think I can fix this one. When you hover over wmcalc, it (not us) sets the focus to follow the mouse, instead of doing the obvious thing and just taking the focus. When the focus is set to follow the mouse, we use that as a cue that something has gone wrong and we need to focus a real window again. For instance, this happens when you close the menu with the mouse over it.

But in older versions of fluxbox I could do it

In older versions of fluxbox, if you closed the menu with the mouse over it, then regular window focus would be broken. I think that's more important, but I would classify this as a misbehavior of wmcalc, anyway. Get them to set the focus to themselves, rather than PointerRoot.

Thank you Mark.

Finally I found XSetInputFocus looking in wmcalc.c and modified it. Now it works.

Thanks

Hello arena_cz. I've attached wmcalc.c here. I modified line 395 in this way:

394 case LeaveNotify:
395 XSetInputFocus(display, win, RevertToParent, CurrentTime);
396 if (Verbose) printf("Focus Change\n");
397 break;
398 }

a) this was a bug in wmcalc
b) the wmcalc I obtained from AUR (which already is dead old ;-) works as expected, ie. hovering the calculator moves the kbd focus there, no matter of the focus policy in fluxbox

So it's not a fluxbox bug and been fixed in wmcalc ages ago ;-)
