clone 386408 -1 -2 retitle -1 xvnc4viewer: no keyboard focus in dialog windows retitle -2 xvnc4viewer: allow command-line dialogs when started in console severity -2 wishlist thanks
Hello! I'm retitleing the current bug because as I already explained the problem is more general than the error dialog. Moreover, during the discussion it's showed up the wish for a complete console behavior when vncviewer is started in console and I think this is a separated (but connected) bug, thus I'm creating it. Ola, I hope you don't mind :-) On Mon, 06 Nov 2006 17:39:58 +0100, Ola Lundqvist wrote: > On Mon, Nov 06, 2006 at 05:18:11PM +0100, Luca Capello wrote: >> On Thu, 07 Sep 2006 22:07:28 +0200, Ola Lundqvist wrote: >> > Unfortunatly I do not know how to fix that.

Mmm, I found that the PasswordDialog shares the problem, too. I'll try to find a solution for that: the focus should always be in the dialog box and TAB should work, no matter if the mouse is available. This is the first bug (ID -1). >> IMHO I see two solutions: >> >> 1) the best option will be to have all these dialogs similar to the >> password one, i.e. in the console (whose behavior I don't remember >> when it changed) > > I agree. It changed from vnc3 to vnc4. Thank you, I didn't know that. >> 2) while I prefer the console, I can understand someone could want >> the X dialogs, thus a command-line option could be the best >> solution > > I have made a patch so that the password dialog is on the command > line. The same thing could be done for the other dialogs. This is the second bug (ID -2). OK, my fault: I didn't deeply checked the changelog.Debian.gz for Debian-specific patches. Anyway, I think that your work (and the future one to resolve this bug) should be included upstream, but this is obviously IMHO. >> I'm not a programmer myself, so patches are a bit of difficult. >> Even if I'm not promising anything, I'll try to find spare time to >> dig into the problem. > > If you want to take a look at it, then you can look at the changes > that I made in order to change the password prompt.
