Public bug reported: Sometimes gvim, gedit, gnome terminal, and firefox do not reponse to keyboard inputs. When the problem occurs, the application does not response to text input, but the menu item can still be accessed via keyboard, and the window manager still responses to keyboard events. The problems occur ocasionally, independent of the applications (i.e. when I can't input the URL in firefox, another gvim instance may work perfectly at the same time). Sometimes closing the affected application and then reopen it solves the problem; sometimes the problem still exists.
I'm using Ubuntu 5.10. ** Affects: gtk+2.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Needs Info -- Some gtk+ programs (gvim, gedit, gnome terminal, firefox...) sometimes do not receive keyboard inputs https://launchpad.net/bugs/40137 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
