Attachments:	pop-up window "about" (gnome calendar) with no "x" to close

Description Benoît Boudaud 2021-05-30 23:26:20 CEST

Description of problem:

I installed gnome-calendar. I opened the pop-up window "about" accessible in the three-points-menu (above right). But, I can't close the pop-up window anymore. As a result, the application is blocked and can't be used anymore.
The only solution is a kill + PID in the terminal.
I tried several times and got the same result.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
- gnome-calendar.x86_64 => 40.1-1.mga9 => cauldron-x86_64

How reproducible: by opening the pop-up window "about"


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install gnome-calendar 
2. run it
3. open the pop-up window "about"

Trying (under Mate) gnome-calendar-3.38.2-3.mga8, what I found re the 'About Calendar' window is:
- The 'Close' button does nothing - the real bug.
- Clicking the top-right 'X' dismisses the window.
- Or doing Alt/F4 kills it; both being standard methods.

I am changing the bug title accordingly. Unless the Cauldron version of this behaves differently, it looks as if your assertions:
"I can't close the pop-up window anymore"
"the application is blocked"
"The only solution is a kill + PID in the terminal"
are not true; but the main complaint about the 'Close' button not working is.

Please say whether the close-window 'X' works or not; also Alt/F4. It would be more serious if it does not.

Assigning to the Gnome group re the Close button.

- On Cinnamon, the "close" button doesn't work and the pop-up window is not 
  decorated. So, there is no "x"
- On Plasma, the close button doesn't work but the pop-up window is decorated. 
  Clicking on the "x" closes the window.

My assertions are true. I just forgot to precise the desktop environment.

Comment 3 Lewis Smith 2021-06-04 17:01:20 CEST

No 'X' to close a window is rare. Is it a natural state, or something you configured? I must try this on Cinnamon.
What about Alt/F4 ?

Hello,

Attached you will find a screenshot. After another test, I confirm that the pop up window is not decorated (cinnamon).
Alt/F4 closes the window.

> Alt/F4 closes the window.
OK, you *can* close the window! Alt/F4 is a standard way of doing so.
Thanks for the Cinnamon screenshot.

Just a footnote to say that the lack of a window top bar - and hence an 'X' to close it - for "About Calendar" looks as Cinnamon special. I confirm its absence on non-tweaked Cinnamon; but it *is* present under Gnome (& works)!

Comment 8 David GEIGER 2021-06-07 13:26:49 CEST

current version is gnome-calendar-40.2-1.mga9 for Cauldron!
