Title: system operation, not popping OUT subwindows on normal demand.
Post by: Lloyd McDaniel on September 06, 2022, 02:26:49 PM

Hello All, and thanks in advance for any help.
I am a Toughbook hobby guy who has loaded and used LL 5.8 on a couple Panasonic Toughbooks and just wiped and did a clean install on his CF-31 MKI of LL 6.0
These TB's have BOTH touchpad and screen so I have to set xinput to kill the numerics started what I once would have thought of as IRQ's. No problem it lets my usb mouse work and I doubt that is the trouble.
the problem is that I am not getting any popout subwindows in browsers in the default installed desktop. As in when I try to save off any image I get no popout with menu or location.
It's acting a little wonky in other ways too but nothing I can put a finger on.
Ideas?, Claims of grandeur? suggestions besides do-dah-ing the thing again?
HA! a case in point when I clicked on preview this post absodamnlutely nothing happened.

For me, the preview button on the forum doesn't open a pop up, rather it adds a new section to the page above where I'm typing.  It can seem like it hasn't done anything, but if I scroll up slightly I see the preview section.

As a reference test, what happens if you open the local copy of the help manual

Code: [Select]

file:///usr/share/doc/litemanual/index.html
Click Start, then scroll down to an image and right click there?
Do you get the 'Save Image As ...' pop up as you'd expect ?

What browser are you using?
What version ?
Any plugins/extensions ?
