Hello, Vladimir. Testcase will be welcome, since the issue was not found by our regression tests.

Thanks Vladimir. The fix looks fine to me. We need to get at least one more review, after which I'll be able to push it to the repository. Could anyone review this please? Here's a link to the webrev:

http://vkravets.github.io/awt-fixes/8012586/webrev.00/index.html Regarding other WMs and the DIALOG type - yes, I agree with you. I don't known of any WMs that would do something strange for DIALOG windows, so as I said this is just a theoretical concern. The fix should work fine now for most WMs. If we encounter a problem with a particular WM in the future, we'll see how to deal with it. -- best regards, Anthony On 04/22/2013 06:33 PM, Vladimir Kravets wrote: Done. You can look at the same link. BTW the full listing webrev directory you can find on the https://github.com/vkravets/awt-fixes/tree/master/8012586 link.

Of course =) >Although I'm a little concerned about other window managers that may present DIALOG windows somehow completely differently (as some Mac-style sheets for example). In this case the fix may fail since it marks regular owned windows as DIALOGs, too. This is purely a theoretical concern, but still something to think about. Shouldn't we check the window type instead of just checking whether the window has an owner or not? Since this is is not ICCCM-compliant atom, thus I guess that all another WM's should compliant by this spec from freedesktop. http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/latest/ar01s05.html#idp1333344 In this section very clearly specified how should react WM's on different wndow type. BTW before fix AWT was not fully compliant with this spec =( Best Regards, Vladimir
