Package: mate-panel Version: 1.20.3-1 Tags: a11y Owner: b...@hypra.fr User: b...@hypra.fr Usertags: hypra samuel Forwarded: https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-panel/issues/851
DESCRIPTION FROM UPSTREAM:
Hello, The background is in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/85 . One of the conclusions, in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/85#note_264804 , is that mate-panel is not properly transferring focus on alt-F1 keyboard shortcut. (on alt-F2 it is working properly). How to reproduce install gtk3, which contains the fix for https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/85 (can be seen by gdk/x11/gdkdevicemanager-core-x11.c's APPEARS_FOCUSED testing for both has_focus and has_focus_window). run the mate desktop run accerciser, in its Event Monitor, open window element and enable window:activate and window:deactivate run e.g. mate-terminal, accerciser shows window:activate for it press alt-f1 Actual result accerciser shows only window:activate for the mate-panel Expected result accerciser should show a window:deactivate for mate-terminal, and window:activate for mate-panel It used to work only by luck before, only because gtk used to deactivate itself during a keyboard grab. But as discussed in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/85 that behavior poses accessibility feedback issues, is not coherent, and keyboard grab feedback will not be available in wayland anyway. Thus @ebassi saying in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/85#note_264804 that not transferring focus properly is the actual bug.
