Bug 72784 Close override redirect while opening another loses focus forever
Reported: 2004-08-27 10:43:44 | Status: resolved fixed

I200408241200, GTK+ 2.4.4, KDE 3.2.3, Linux 2.6.7 I tried binding "Open editor drop-down" to "Ctrl+X B". If you then press, "Ctrl+X" and wait, a key assist dialog opens. This dialog is an override redirect window. Now, if you press "B", it will close the key assist dialog and open the editor drop-down. The editor drop-down is also an override redirect shell. Focus disappears. The second override direct shell never closes. You can click around, but I haven't managed to find a way to motivate keyboard focus to come back again.
