I left my computer for a few minutes with a running Eclipse (or Texmaker) with focus. I was just writing so the cursor was blinking inside the text area. It is important, that the application has a focus. If the focus is on the web browser or the pdf viewer both applications (Eclipse and Texmaker) are working fine after the screen saver. 2. I came back, and the screen saver was running. I entered my password to free the screen. This bug appears only when the screen get locked naturally, not with CTRL + ALT + L. 3. The application was still running, but the cursor disappeared. I could save my last changes, I could mark text but I couldn't insert new one. (This is valid for Eclipse and Texmaker) - Even other tabs behave the same (at least Texmaker, I don't remeber if Eclipse behaves the same) + Even other tabs behave the same, (at least Texmaker, I don't remeber if Eclipse behaves the same) + [Edit] + You can't copy the text with CTRL + C anymore, but with the right mouse click + [/EDIT] 4. To regain write ability, you need to restart the application 4) expected behaviour That I can write in Eclipse / Texmaker after the screensaver appears PS: I discovered this bug with two different programms, Eclipse and Texmaker, that is the reason why I believe that this bug is not specific for on these packages. Maybe the screensaver or a lib for displaying the textarea. I hope this will help you to find the bug. If you need more Information feel free to ask.
