Description:
Using Lazarus v0.9.25 r16425M i386-linux-gtk
When pressing the keyboard shortcut to bring up the "Goto Line number"
dialog, all other opened windows (Project Inspector, Package windows
etc) flicker like crazy. It's as if all the other dialogs get a
"bring to front" and then a "sent to back" action. They briefly moved over the editor window, then quickly get sent back behind the editor window. Very distracting!
This doesn't just happen when I open the "Goto line number" dialog. It
happens with any "popup" dialog, like (Ctrl+F) for Search dialog;
(Ctrl+Shift+D) for Conditional Defines dialog, etc... Any "popup"
dialog, causes all other open windows (part of Lazarus IDE) to flicker (as previously described).
It doesn't seem to be related to my choice of window managers either.
I tested it under both Gnome and FVWM. Same behaviour. This also
started happening in the last few svn updates (week or two ago).
