Keyboard stuck

[Ferry Toth]

This bug occurs when using kwin as window manager (kubuntu flavor) and is easily reproducible on either upgrades and new installs of Kubuntu Precise. I haven't tried if it also occurs with Unity or Gnome.

There are other ways to trigger the bug but the easiest way is the following.
1) In Evolution you need at least 2 e-mail accounts (mine are both of the imapx type)
2) Create an empty new e-mail
3) Type some text in the body
4) In the From: field select another account
5) Try to continue typing in the body

At this point the keyboard doesn't respond. You can copy/paste text using the mouse.

6) To work around: right-click in the body, select input method , switch to None or Simple
7) You can now type again.

Annoying bug and new to Precise / Evolution 3.2.3
