I suspect this is yet another GTK2 version related bug. Has anybody seen it?

When opening a modal window like the About box, other windows turn grey because they are
disabled. That is OK.
After closing the modal window they still remain grey although they work OK. Only minimizing and then restoring the IDE helps bring the normal color back.

This is the latest Linux Mint 17 with KDE desktop.

Juha

Yes, same here with mageia 4 (x86_64), kde desktop, lazarus 1.2.4. gtk is 2.24.22.
It didn't happen with mageia 3 (gtk 2.24.17).

Bye

Ok, here it is gtk 2.24.23.
Any known workarounds? I tried changing the GTK theme in KDE but no effect. The question is now, does this happen with KDE or also with other desktop systems.

Probably a Kwin problem. A workaround is to open the KDE system settings, Desktop effects, All effects. On the Focus block uncheck Dialog parent.

Thanks!
I propably would not have figured it out myself, there are so many settings for different effects.

Otherwise KDE works very well now and is a joy to use. KDE 4.x is nearing the end of its lifetime. It means all features are implemented and bugs ironed out.

I'm not sure that it's KWin problem. This problem have only apps written in Lazarus and Lazarus itself. My app has the same problem :(.

I thought I replied to this over a week ago, but it wound up in a Gmail draft.

I have noticed the same on recent Lazarus GTK builds 2014/08/27 on a KDE desktop
