I have exactly the same situation here. I have vim-gnome package 2:7.3.035+hg~8fdc12103333-1ubuntu7 on ubuntu 11.04 (64 bit version).
As a workaround I click with mouse on gvim menu and then esc and keyboard works correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/702314 Title: Pressing F10 makes desktop unresponsive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/702314/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
