Hi! This is odd, I can't reproduce this problem at all. Could you tell me more about your system/setup so I can get some more hints as to how to reproduce?
Also, are you using the panel plugin or the systray icon to open the About dialog?

Cheers!

I have same behavior under FreeBSD (Gtk+ 3.18.8, xfce4-panel-4.12.1, libxfce4ui 4.13.1).

It seems each buttons in about dialog have no signals connected. I open this dialog when I right click in order to show context menu (when clipman is running).

I forget to mention, it's xfce4-clipman-plugin 1.4.1

@Olivier: Very strange. So you're seeing this only in systray or panel-plugin or in both?

I checked out the part that calls the about dialog and it's a standard gtk call that has been around since 2.6 and hasn't changed, so I don't think this is clipman, but maybe Gtk+3.18..? (I'm on Gtk+3.20)
For reference see: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkAboutDialog.html#gtk-show-about-dialog

Actually most Xfce components use this call to show their about dialog and I can't see any relevant divergences, apart from the fact that clipman doesn't set the parent window (which should be irrelevant though, the xfce4-panel's dialog does the same).

I tested with another Gtk3 compliant panel plugin (xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin) and buttons in about dialog work fine. I'm not sure, if it's due to Gtk+ 3.18.

I also noticed, the close button (on top of title bar) can't close the window. In fact it's whole of buttons which are inactive. However buttons are still sensitive.

I really hope I find some way how to reproduce this, the window controls also work for me... :/

Hello, in my case it depends on installed GTK version (regardless of the GTK version clipman was compile against).

On my Debian, GTK 3.14.5 suffers with the bug, 3.22.5 is OK. Same behaviour observed in both panel plugin and standalone systray app - clipman must be killed.

Other applications' about dialog works OK even with GTK 3.14.5 (not tried a lot of them though).

I did reproduce with GTK3 version on Debian Jessie.
I don't reproduce anymore on Debian Stretch.

Comment 9 Simon Steinbeiss 2020-04-08 23:39:21 CEST

I would suppose this problem is fixed in newer Gtk3 releases.
