Bug Description
Xmir apps lose keyboard focus, quite often.
Test cases:
gedit: Open a menu and then close it. Can't type in the editor any more.
chromium-browser: Just use it for a few seconds and you can't type in the address bar any more.
The problem appears to be a Mir one (mir demo servers) as the last event Xmir is receiving is:
mir_surface_
shown in the log as:
Focus: unfocused
So of course no window will receive keyboard input after that.
Workaround:
Alt+Tab or Alt+` a few times to regain focus.
To post a comment you must log in.
Even after regaining focus, Xmir still sometimes does not process key events properly. Feels like maybe modifiers get virtually stuck down maybe.
