Yeah, I'm beginning to wonder if it is a issue only for 16:xx type screens My desktop is the old standard 4:3 format. My laptops are 16:xx types. Maybe that is why there isn't a lot of responses to this thread...
Maybe most people are still on the 4:3 format monitors and not seeing what we are...
FWIW, You can do quirky 10. It has that fixed, But I'm having problems getting online with it. But that may be just me...

Using this everywhichway I can, and I dont THINK I get the screen flashing issue. I DO have a 16:9 display with Intel graphics. Sometimes its hard to be sure if the screen redrew or not, but frankly, if the choice is offset dialogues or stable screen in browser, I will take the dialogue option every time
Tried this with Seamonkey 1 & 2, Firefox 3.5, Opera 10.10.

Yes, If it is just a redraw and not a white flash then I would put up with that too!Sometimes its hard to be sure if the screen redrew or not, but frankly, if the choice is offset dialogues or stable screen in browser, I will take the dialogue option every time
Something else I discovered was that this is *not* a problem in 4.12. I've been doing some A/B testing on a samba/b43 problem I am having, and while I was in 4.12, I tested a few apps and everything was fine.
It uses GTK-2.12.1, an even older version....
So what's that all about?

Today found and installed
gtk+-2.12.1-bug-fixed.pet
http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/pupp ... -fixed.pet
I tried Seamoney and Geany and these are working fine (window now opens in middle of screen finally)
Do you know if there are some conflicts in using gtk+-2.12.1 in Puppy 4.3.1?
at moment all applications I tried seems working normally

Hmmm, you went from 2.14x *backwards* to 2.12x. And it fixed it?!?!?!
*Brilliant!!!*
Puppy 4.1.2 had 2.12x and *no* problem with dialog boxes. I never would have thought of going backwards,,,,
I don't know of any issues. But you are pioneering here. So let tell us know.....

Dingo and others,
I finally did find GTK-2.16x and a matching glib at:
http://puppylinux.ca/members/T/444/gtk+-2.16.6-i486.pet
http://puppylinux.ca/members/T/444/glib-2.20.5-i486.pet
I have switched to these with no problems. I also understand Barry went back to 2.16x for quirky so maybe give these a try to see if it fixes the problem and doesn't cause any screen refresh issues....

P.S. Thanks so much to member technosaurus that compiled these.

Tried today, it is okay
also glib package is needed? It seems installing only gtk+-2.16.6-i486.pet , the bug is solved and apps work regularly

Dingo, maybe not on the glib. I know when I went to 2.18x, I had to upgrade glib then. In my research, I read it is best to keep them in similar development time-lines. However "it works" is a pretty powerful reason to not upgrade. So your call here...
Me, I went for it and can report no problems....

FYI, I think I compiled those before I knew about the solution to the insert key kills seamonkey/firefox bug. (needs a second recompile for just the main gdk and gtk libs with --enable-debug=minimum) no other issues as far as I know (btw the debugging libs add about 500kb at least in 2.14, 2.18 and 2.20)

How do I replicate this bug please? I would like to try it in SM2............technosaurus wrote:FYI, I think I compiled those before I knew about the solution to the insert key kills seamonkey/firefox bug.

What I mean is, I dont know how to apply this patch. I guess I need to download a source package, apply the patch and re-build?technosaurus wrote:Can you press the insert key while typing a response to this message without the browser closing?
At present I am using 4.3.2 with SM2 and the gtk+2.16.6-i486 package. The insert key problem is gone with this.

That's good news - I had rolled all the way back to the original 2.14.7 in 4.4 alpha 1 for other reasons and skipped the 2.16.6 version because I didn't recall doing a second compile. I'll put it into 4.4alpha2.
Backspace is only a problem if pressed while holding down Ctrl and Alt.... unless you add dontzap to your xorg.conf.
