2.99 gimp_dialog_new creates dialogs that frequently don't close properly
Environment/Versions
- GIMP version: 2.99.16
- Package: any build
- Operating System: macOS
Description of the bug
This issue was first noticed with the Welcome Dialog. When it manifests, the dialog can't be closed, not by clicking the red close circle at the upper left, and via any other means. Mouse clicks appear to be sent to the underlying window.
This same problem occurs with the Preferences dialog, and presumably all other dialogs started with gimp_dialog_new
.
Reproduction
Is the bug reproducible? Randomly (but 80% of the time)
Reproduction steps:
- Open the
Welcome
dialog (either by installing GIMP the first time, or by going to the help menu) - Click on the red
x
to close the window - Nothing happens
- Double click on the red
x
- The
Open Image
dialog pops up and theWelcome
does not close - Move the dialog around
- Eventually clicking in teh red
x
will close it. - On dialogs with
Cancel
or other action buttons which should close them (examplePreferences
), those also don't work.
…
Expected result: Dialog closes on first click of red x
or any of the action buttons.
Actual result: Dialog does not get the mouse click and sends the key event to the window behind.
Additional information
This bug is very disruptive.
