Open Thunar and type some text. The search widget in the right bottom window corner will appear but unfortunately there is no cursor visible. Tested with Xubuntu 19.10 64 bit.
Thanks for reporting ! IIRC the search widget is part of exo, only used by thunar *moving to Exo* I cannot reproduce here .. which version of exo do you have installed ? (exo-open --version)
Because I wanted a certain feature I compiled and installed this version: exo-open 0.12.8git-UNKNOWN https://git.xfce.org/xfce/exo/snapshot/exo-8c8548d84fd0ca9454c894a2f2da7a9a0d6197c9.tar.gz
I also compiled and installed Thunar now so the Thunar executable is now under /usr/local/bin. But there is no difference. I still have this bug. Maybe it's just my special setup? Have you tested this with exo HEAD including the latest patches?
I've done further tests now. I uninstalled Thunar and Exo from /usr/local/bin so only the standard versions were available. But the bug still was there.
you need to build and install exo with: ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr #this prefix can be different for ubuntu/debian make && sudo make install then build and run thunar: ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr make thunar -q # quits the daemon thunar/thunar # run thunar you just built
Hmm... I also have this problem when I don't have any self compiled software. See my last post Comment 4.
Just tried with exo 0.12.8 + thunar master. I cannot reproduce the bug. Possibly a theme specific bug ? Which theme do you use ? Did you try other themes ? Can you repoduce the bug with greybird /adwaita ?
I use the Numix theme. I tested other themes and also tested with another user but the bug is always there.
I now tested this with a Xubuntu 64 Bit AMD 19.10 Live Disk/Session. I can see the bug also there with the default window/icon theme. It doesn't matter which language I select in the live session. I tested German and English.
Yes, the cursor and frame highlight are both missing (affects standard and compact list view). Maybe the "can-focus" property is forcefully set to FALSE.. or something like that. Xubuntu 19.10 Manjaro Xfce 18.1.1
Created attachment 9164 diff Changing gtk_widget_event() to gtk_widget_send_focus_change() resolves this bug. Furthermore, I think the gtk_widget_set_can_focus() line was mistakenly added [1] and the explicit "has-focus" property change signal is probably not needed anymore. --- [1] https://git.xfce.org/xfce/exo/commit/exo/exo-private.c?id=bcd7afca2c018aa8e5e1acc1d960bd7f1f9f6f63
