First Item in mail-notification dialog is not selected / no visible focus

Reported by: private_lock Owned by: charkins
Milestone: Patches Needing Review Component: pidgin (gtk)
Version: 2.4.1 Keywords: mail notify focus select

Description

When the Mail Notification-Dialog pops up, in previous versions of Pidgin the first entry was selected, so I just had a single click on the lower right button to launch my webmail interface. Now, I first have to click the item and then the button.

Moreover, there is no visible indication, where the keyboard focus is, when the dialog comes up. pressing Enter "magically" does the right thing, but it's not shown. And I didn't wait for several emails to check, what it does, when there are more items to select.

This is a yahoo-eMail-account, if that makes any difference. Pidgin 2.4.1 on Kubuntu Hardy (came with adept on the version upgrade)

The above patch was just a quick hack, and hasn't been tested on anything other than an MSN account. It hasn't been tested with situations where more than one row appears.

Turning on the 'browse' selection mode was probably unnecessary - in my opinion the selection_changed callback could be removed in favour of browse mode.
