Bug description:
Problem occurs with: Ambiance, Radiance, Clearlooks, DarkRoom, Dust,
Elementary, Glossy, Human, Human-Clearlooks
Does not occur with: New Wave
For example, open a Nautilus window and select an icon. Switch focus
to the desktop by clicking on it. The window is not active but the
icon in it retains the "selected items" color. It appears as though
it is still selected and that it can be modified by keyboard
shortcuts. By clicking on an icon on the desktop it changes color to
be selected an now it appears that two items are selected.
Several times I've deleted things by accident due to this, especially
when I was new to GNOME. I would have several windows open with items
selected. I would see the item I want selected and hit the delete key
to remove it, only to realize that I had some other window focused
where I had deleted something else.
In Windows selected items in unfocused windows turn gray. I think it
also adds another visual clue as to what window is focused besides
just the title bar.
Firefox and Thunderbird deliver the behavior I expect (probably
because they are only faux GTK apps). Select some text in Firefox and
then focus to another window and you will see that the selected text
turns gray, indicating it is not active. Try that in gedit or evince
and the text will remain blue.
