Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
TEST CASE:
1. Launch any application with parent and a modal dialog. In this test I chosen gedit. So move to the top left viewport and launch gedit
2. Type some text and close the window to make the confirmation dialog appear
3. Move the confirmation dialog to the right viewport (CTRL+ALT+
4. Go back to the left viewport (CTRL+ALT+LEFT)
5. Ensure that the parent window receives the focus by clicking on it and move it to the bottom viewport (CTRL+ALT+
-> RESULT: The dialog on other viewport moves to the bottom.
6. Move the parent window to the right viewport (CTRL+ALT+
-> RESULT: The viewport switch to the right, but the dialog is not there anymore because it moved to the left viewport
7. Go back to the parent window, with the dialog on another viewport and press ESC
-> RESULT: The dialog is closed
Expected:
- The parent window should move instead of the dialog
- The dialog should not receive keyboard events when it is not on the active viewport.
I attached a video to illustrate this issue.
Desired Solution:
- Sheet style dialogues will solve this issue when they land.
- In the meantime moving the parent window to a different workspace should also move the confirmation dialogue (and also vice versa)
