Bug Description
Binary package hint: scim
When scim is active sometimes applications no longer receive/accept any input from keyboard.
After some experimentation I came up with the following procedure to reproduce this:
* Open firefox and any other window
* In firefox press ctrl-n immediately followed by alt-tab, focusing the other window
* A new firefox window apears and the input is frozen.
I'm using scim 1.4.7-1ubuntu2 and X11/Dynamic set to true (see Bug #66104).
.xinput.d/de_DE is a symbolic link to /etc/X11/
After stopping scim via the applet sometimes the application continues to work normally, sometimes it crashes immediately and sometimes it crashes shortly afterwards.
I have to following scim-related packages installed
