Description Nate Graham 2021-11-18 17:03:47 UTC

Git master everything


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Overview effect
2. Position cursor above a window that is off to the right or left side (where the Milou view will not appear)
3. Type something in the search field to show the Milou view and hide all windows
4. Click


OBSERVED RESULT
The effect closes and the window that you were hovering over before is activated, even though it was invisible at the moment when you clicked.


EXPECTED RESULT
The effect closes without explicitly activating any windows.

effects/overview: Prevent WindowHeap accepting mouse events while searching

If the opacity property is set to 0, the item will still receive mouse
events. One either needs to set the enabled or the visible property to
false to ensure that the WindowHeap receives no mouse events.

The reason for setting the opacity to 0 instead of the visible property
to false was that I thought later will nuke the paint node, but it seems
like that's not the case.
