Cannot use mouse on group filter

[John Veness <John.Veness.mythtv@…>]

On the rare occasions that I use my desktop PC to use Myth, I used to be able to use the mouse to navigate the menus and start playback of a recording. Now, it goes wrong at the stage where I pick the group filter. Specifically, I do the following:

1, Start mythfrontend
2, Use the mouse to click on TV (I use "classic" menu theme)
3, Use the mouse to click on Watch Recordings
4, The "Change Filter" window pops up (I have the setting "Always prompt for initial group filter" ticked)

At this point, I cannot use the mouse to click on a group to choose.

I used to be able to use the mouse to select a group in the Change Filter window (and then go on to pick a recording using the mouse) successfully in 0.22, so I suspect the problem started with the MythUI re-write.

Which theme are you using? Can you change to Terra and see if it still fails to work? I'm able to change the filter with a mouse just fine, I suspect this is a theme bug.

[John Veness <John.Veness.mythtv@…>]

Ah yes, it does seem to depend on theme. For me, the problem occurs with Mythbuntu, MythCenter? and MythCenter?-wide themes, but does not occur with Terra.

Interestingly, what seems to be happening with Mythbuntu, MythCenter? and MythCenter?-wide themes is that the mouse clicks are going "through" the popup Change Filter window and onto the underlying list of recordings. So as I click, instead of changing the filter, I'm changing the selected recording underneath.

Ok thanks, it appears those themes must be failing to define correct areas for some aspect of the popup or list so the code cannot see that there are buttons there to activate.

I believe this has been broken for a long time, I assumed it was a know problem but obviously not. It only affects non full screen screens which is why Terra works because all the popups are fullscreen.

This patch fixes the problem for me (only lightly tested)
