           Summary: Applications with unsaved data can't be closed from the
                    Home menu
           Product: System software
           Version: 3.2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Fedora Core
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Low
         Component: window-manager
        AssignedTo: tapani.palli at nokia.com
        ReportedBy: bugzilla770 at nmacleod.com
         QAContact: window-manager-bugs at maemo.org


Version: OS 2007 4.2007.38-2/N800


A well designed application that is about to be closed with unsaved data will
prompt the user to ensure the unsaved data is not lost once the application is
terminated. Application can be closed by clicking "X" in the application
window, or by selecting Close from the application specific menu. Finally, the
application can also be closed by clicking the "x" in the Home (>>) menu.

However, if the application is closed using the Home menu while the application
does not have focus (ie. the application window is "buried") then nothing will
appear to happen because the application remains "buried" even though it
requires user input. If the application is closed while it has focus it will
produce a "system prompt" sound when prompting the user, but when being closed
while "buried" there will be no sound.

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
When clicking "x" in the Home (>>) menu, if the application requires user input
prior to closing/terminating it should become the active window by taking focus
and any associated "system prompt" sound should be heard.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
The application being terminated remains buried but prompts the user for input
without generating any "system prompt" sound. Consequently the user is unaware
the application is prompting for input, thus the user is left with the
impression that nothing has happened.

When the user eventually switches foucs and makes the application active, the
dialog prompt will become visible and only then is the "system prompt" sound
hear.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:
1. Open Notes, enter some textual data
2. Return to the Home screen by opening the Home menu(>>) and selecting "Home"
3. Open the Home menu (>>) and attempt to close Notes by clicking on "x" to the
right of the Notes entry in the Home menu list

The Notes application will "refuse" to close and the user will not hear the
"system prompt" sound. The Home menu will remain visible with the Notes
application still listed.

If the user then switches focus to the Notes application the dialog will become
visible and the "system prompt" sound will be heard.


OTHER COMMENTS:
If the Notes application is the active/focused application, try and close Notes
by clicking "x" in the Home menu. The "Save note before closing" prompt will
appear but the prompt will be "covered" by the still open Home menu - this is
even more obvious when the Home menu is in "Finger" mode. This shouldn't happen
- the Home menu should close when an application is prompting the user for
input!
