[Bug 438868] Re: Numerous applications have focus issues after emerging from a screensaver or suspend

 

Could somebody please reopen this bug? It's obviously not fixed in 11.10
and it does affect the user experience. For me, the focus issues do not
only occur after resuming from suspend/hibernate but also after
switching back from other applications. In addition, accessing the dash
via super key doesn't work reliably in firefox, presumably due to the
same bug.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

  For the past few weeks, builds of Firefox 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7 have
  exhibited a behavior where the autocomplete of the so-called awesome
  bar will only work sporadically.

  There are some times where the autocomplete will not work at all and
  other times when it will appear for a few milliseconds after typing a
  letter before disappearing.

  I haven't been able to pin-point what causes this, but I have found
  that restarting the browser resolves the issue until it occurs again.

  This doesn't happen very often, but at least a few times each day.

  Reproducible: Sometimes
  ==========
  SRU:

  This bug affects all users using compiz and Firefox.Patch is taken
  from the compiz 0.8.8 branch from upstream cgit. Patch has also been
  port-forwarded to 0.9 branch and is available in latest Natty compiz
  package.

  TestCase:

  With current stock Ubuntu compiz packages:
  1- When Firefox is open; allow screensaver to kick-in (or resume from suspend) and then start using Firefox
  2- Notice Awesome bar does not auto-complete with suggestions(firefox 3.6) and bookmarks menu, context menu are completely unusable(Firefox 4).

  Install compiz package from -proposed:
  Awesome bar, Context menu, bookmarks menus all work normally

  Regression potential:
  None ( maybe users notice more awesomeness of Firefox 4?)

  ==========
  SRU packages:
  For Ubuntu 10.10 : Maverick-proposed > Compiz 1:0.8.6-0ubuntu9.2
  For Ubuntu 10.04 : Lucid-proposed > Compiz 1:0.8.4-0ubuntu15.3 

  ==========
  Compiz commit which seems to fix the issue for Firefox:
