No way to close "overview" window? about hamster

[tstriker]

Alt+F4 still seems to be working here, hmm, so does Esc when overview is focused (checking now). Oh and Ctrl+W, hah!
I guess i can't reproduce

[alvherre]

yeah, I tried all of those :-( Not sure what is happening.

[tstriker]

try running the hamster-time-tracker from console and then go to overview and try hitting Esc. Make sure you are focused in the window and see if that does anything or perhaps you can get any errors in the console.

The even is bound from the glade file, so perhaps we can try suspecting that.
In any case, the relevant code is here:

Hmm .. in my installed version, I see that the signal handler (or whatever it's called) is on_window_key_pressed, but the .ui file does not install that anywhere. I guess it's just a bug in the .ui file I have.

[alvherre]

apparently, before commit 6335bfb that signal wasn't connected in the overview window at all.

[tstriker]

i presume you are running hamster installed from sources right now?

[alvherre]

No, I'm using the packaged version in Debian Squeeze right now, which is obviously a bit dated. I will try to patch the version I have by adding the missing line to the XML file and see if it works.

[tstriker]

that sounds suspiciously dangerous. just install from sources instead.

[alvherre]

I added just the line, and it works fine now. If hamster happens to break strangely in the future, I will make sure to install sources before filing any bug. Thanks for your input and the excellent piece of software.
