Modal Curves dialog on Linux prevents curves from being seen

Open rpaulo opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

On Linux, the Curves dialog is modal and when I try to move it out of the way, it moves all Artisan windows.

Found out that there's an option in Gnome to revert to the old behavior, where a modal window can move by itself. However, the behaviour described above is the default so it would be nice if we could find an alternative.

The problem of modal dialogs overlapping the window behind exists also for the background dialog and especially the Cup Profile.

Using the Gnome-Tweaks app one can turn the "Attached Modal Dialogs" setting under "Windows" OFF.

# apt-get install gnome-tweaks
# gnome-tweaks

or issue in a terminal the following command

# gsettings set org.gnome.mutter attach-modal-dialogs false

I could not find a way to set this on a per app basis such that we could integrate this into Artisan.

Seems to be a windows manager configuration issue
