hovering on a window sitting in the background can cause it to be raised when a tooltip is shown #761

Issue migrated from trac ticket # 761

component: client | priority: minor | resolution: wontfix | keywords: win32

2014-12-10 10:15:16: peterlong0210 created the issue

Reproduce:

Server-side, xpra start :100 --start-child=xterm --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:53000

Client-side, xpra attach tcp:IP:100.

From xterm, type: firefox. Now Firefox is focused.

Focus to xterm. Move your mouse pointer to anywhere which can appear tooltip( for example: title of tabs,...)

Tooltip appear and xterm is hidden behind Firefox.

Minimize Firefox, xterm is shown, so xterm doesn't minimize, but hidden.

I use Ubuntu 12.04 for server and Windows 7 for client.

I's just check again. It's occur only with tooltip from mouse point in FIREFOX. CHROME is not occur.
PS: Xpra version is 0.14.13 at both client and server

I used -d focus log.
When xterm is hidden behind Firefox, focus not change.

I'm not sure there's much we can do about this.

-d focus produces log output - which we need to debug things, it is not meant to change the behaviour.

I attached a log file.
At server-side:
xpra start :100 --start-child="xterm|firefox" --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:53000
At client-side:
xpra_cmd attach tcp:192.168.2.55:53000 --encoding=rgb --no-cursor -d focus
You can see more detail from the log file.

Here's a typical firefox tooltip:
process_new_common: [6, 282, 437, 201, 48, {'opacity': -1, 'fullscreen': False, \
    'xid': '0x8021cd', 'pid': 26134, 'window-type': ('TOOLTIP',), \
    'maximized': False, 'transient-for': 2, 'override-redirect': True}], OR=True
So we have an override redirect "TOOLTIP" window which is transient for its parent.

I've made a much simpler test case for this in r8500.
This is not a bug in our code, it is probably a bug or limitation of GTK on windows. So I am tempted to just close this ticket as 'wontfix' and rely on the GTK3 port making progress (#90).
