Bug Description
Distro: Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty (following the latest updates everyday)
Env: Gnome, Compiz, Xen (2.6.19-4-generic), zh_TW.UTF-8, SCIM.
Problem at:
firefox 2.0.0.3+1-0ubuntu2
Gaim 2.0.0+beta6-
Gnome-Terminal 2.18.0-0ubuntu1
Description:
1. Firefox:
Sometimes firefox get no response of any keyboard input. In URL box, key binding, keyboard shortcuts
and else. Cannot switch input methed/language. Only mouse can still use.
No special web stie or else, I was surfing the web, everything's going well. And after takeing
a break, make a cup of coffee then back to my desk, the firefox got no response from keyboard. It just
hangs there. The only solution is "$ killall firefox-bin" to kill all firefox and open again.
I can find no error log. :-(
2. Gaim:
Sometimes Gaim got no response of any keyboard input, too. The situation are almost all the
same of firefox, but sometimes i can type 1 or a little more charactors and sometimes no before it hangs-up
. In a few times, I can type someting in the input box (there won't be anything inputed/display) in
tab 1, switch to another tab and switch back, what I typed will display on the input box just like i'm
typing very fast. But this rarely wroks.
3. Gnome-Terminal
All the same with the situations of gaim, even the mystery Tab switching magic.
Reproduce:
Gaim:
It's easy. Open Gaim in the first virtual desk, open a chat window and chat with someone or many
people (multi-tabs). And then focus on gaim main window (contact list), use ctrl+alt+shift+"->" to move
the gaim main window to the second virtual desk. Now ctrl+alt+"<-" to back to the first virtual desk
, focus on the chatting windows, try to continue chatting. And it happens.
Gaim got no input from keyboard happenes in many situation, but it always happens when I place
the main window and chatting window on different virtual desk. It's the most easy way to reproduce,
i guess.
FireFox, Gnome-Terminal:
I didn't find how to reproduce, though it happens frequently.

Thank you for your bug. Does it happen without using scim?
