Comment:
I started to look at this, but I am not sure what the proper behavior
should be. Even if FFM is on, when you click on a window title, just like
you would without FFM to make a window active, then the screen shot is
taken of that window. I suppose that in Haiku there is a difference
between a window that has focus and a window that is active.
When FFM is off, the window that has focus is also the active window. With
FFM on, the window under the mouse has focus (that window could be partly
obscured by other windows), and the active window is defined as the
topmost window that is visible. The topmost window is taken as the first
visible, not minimized window from the list of windows returned by the
get_window_order() function. The DeskBar is always visible, so if no other
window is activated a screenshot of the deskbar is taken.
Looking at it this way the current behavior seems to be logical, albeit
somewhat counterintuitive. I would be willing to modify the current
behavior, but that would mean that the window that has focus needs to be
brought to the front, i.e. made active, before a screenshot can be taken.
So, what is the proper Haiku way?
Setting the delay time to a non-zero value when selecting "Take active
window" is a trivial change. What value do you propose?
