Subject: chromium: Chromium 52 (gtk+3 issue) does not honor gtk-key-theme

Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2016 23:15:42 +0200

Package: chromium
Version: 52.0.2743.82-4
Severity: important

Since 52.0.2743.82-3 chromium uses gtk+3 backend. But now it doesn't honor gtk-
key-theme as the previous gtk+2 backend (or any other gtk+ program).

How to reproduce:
* set gtk-key-theme to Emacs.
* open a new tab and go to a search engine.
* write some text on the address bar or the search text box.
* Press CTRL+W.

What it does:
* Close the page.

What it should to:
* Delete the word on the left of the cursor.

Severity important because for me, and probably other people too, some combos
like, for example, CTRL+W and CTRL+U are build into muscle memory and closing
the tab every time we edit a text box inside a page or the address bar is
frustrating and renders the browser unusable.

I don't think this is a chromium bug.  GTK3 settings live in a new path:

$ cat ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
[Settings]
gtk-key-theme-name = Emacs

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-key-theme
'Emacs'

A long time ago there was a similar bug related to gtk+2 and
gtk-key-theme in chromium. Maybe there's something similar with gtk+3
backend.

IMHO the severity you set to this bug is not the right one. From Debian
BTS:

important
	a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package, without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.
normal
	the default value, applicable to most bugs.
minor
	a problem which doesn't affect the package's usefulness, and is presumably trivial to fix.

This bug renders this package hardly usable to anyone addicted to Emacs
gtk-key-theme, but if you think is trivial to fix I'm here to help
testing if you need something.

Best wishes

Here is the upstream bug you mentioned.  I haven't looked in detail,
but that may only implement gtk2 support.

It may be straightforward to develop a gtk3 support patch too.

Best wishes,

Yes, exactly. Probably it has not been ported to gtk3.

I'll gladly test it for you if want port this patch to the gtk3 chromium
codebase.

Chromium for stretch was released with the gtk2 backend, so it was not
a problem there.  The unstable build is back to gtk3, but this should
no longer be a problem since upstream shares a lot more code between
backends now.  Please reopen if that is not the case.

Mike
