I now have Xubuntu Karmic installed on a test system, and I can
confirm that I still see the problem with XInput enabled.
Xournal (Help>About) and Synaptic both confirm it's Xournal 0.4.5 (-1).
The problem appears to be hardware-specific. My test system is a very
old Dell Latitude notebook. It has both a touchpad and a built-in
micro-joystick, each with its own set of buttons. I see the problem
with the touchpad, but not with the joystick.
In text mode, if I click using the joystick's left-hand button, I get
a cursor and can type text. If I move the pointer within the text
area using the touchpad and then click (either using the touchpad's
left-hand button or by tapping the touchpad), the cursor moves to
where the pointer is, and I can (still) enter text.
But, if I move the pointer outside the text area using the touchpad
and then click using the touchpad's left-hand button, the cursor goes
away and typing has no effect.
