Dismiss CallOutBox disable menu commands shortcuts

Linux
1

Linux / Ubuntu 20.04

When i dismiss a CallOutBox (e.g. by clicking outside), sometimes the commands from the menu bar are not triggered anymore with shortcuts. I have to click again inside to make them working back.

Three days trying to reproduce the bug without success… :unamused:

< Dummy/CallOut at master · nicolasdanet/Dummy · GitHub >

On macOS (dismiss/launch properly trigger with menu command):

On Linux (required to click inside to trigger the menu command again):

Notice that sometimes it works fine also on Linux.

Any clue? I don’t understand what’s going on.

Wayland or X11? Maybe Gnome shell (mutter) focus grab bug.

This is standard Ubuntu 20.04 with Gnome and X11.

Tomorrow I’ll try to understand what’s going on with the command manager.
I can not make a minimal exemple able to reproduce the bug.
It makes me nuts.

Sometimes it works ; below how it should behave.

I upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 and i have exactly the same problem (with Wayland and X11). :woozy_face:

It appears that keyPressed is no more called after that the CallOutBox is dismissed.

Making App on Linux with JUCE is painful ; or i am stupid?

In normal case the key event is properly handled by the content component.

JUCE v7.0.5

In bad cases (CallOutBox dismissed) the key event is sent only to the window component.

Shutdown
Goodbye!

I should have set the mapping in the top window and not in the top content component. :person_facepalming:

addKeyListener (Spaghettis()->getCommandManager().getKeyMappings());

It seems to work fine now (strange that before it worked on macOS by the way).

Sorry for rant and noise…
