I encounter a problem apparently due to SCIM which has the effect that the keybord focus is apparently loss. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and have to stay with it.
In Eclipse, when a tooltip windows shows up and disapear, keybpard entry are ignore afterward. I have to switch edited text (clicking tabs) to get back the focus. I saw the same problem when switching from gedit to a shell. The shell would ignore keyboard entries until I click in the top window bar or switch session tabls. I saw the same problem with a java application. I suspected a problem in Java, but I'm now pretty sure it is a problem due to SCIM. I tried removing the SCIM package but I was then unable to type ê characters which I need. Reinstalling SCIM resolved this problem, but also restored the keyboard focus loss. Another weird behavior is that now whenever I switch the front most window, SCIM pops up on the bottom right on my screen. Changing the setup to not show this windows, seem to worsen the problem. -- SCIM eats X11 KeyRelease event https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/243399 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the registrant for SCIM. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
