[Bug 357460] Re: Pidgin in Compiz widget layer deactivates on tooltip creation

[dmandell]

Sebastian Bacher:

It's difficult to take a screenshot of the issue because the screenshot
would be of the desktop (after the widget layer disappeared).  The act
of trying to take the screenshot actually makes the widget layer
disappear, so by the time I try to capture it, I'm already on the
desktop.  I can tell you how to reproduce the issue though.

In order to reproduce the issue you have to have some sort of
application (a terminal window, an IM client roster (like Gajim or
Pidgin), a mail client like Evolution, etc) in the widget layer.

In order to reproduce the behavior:

1) Bring up the widget layer
2) Do any of the following:
    a) click on the title bar (top) of your IM client, email client, etc
    b) Mouse over something that pops up a tooltip (IM contact, button, etc), then move mouse away
    c) Right-click on something, then click elsewhere in the same window.
    d) Wait for a notification event to occur (new email, IM contact coming online, etc)

Your widget layer will disappear after any of the above things happen.
The widget layer *should* persist until you close it with a keypress (or
with a mouse click if that preference is set).

If you need any further explanation please let me know.
