https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=335555 Summary: scim/skim input method causes serious focus problems Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: kq8z67r6309fo9001@sneakemail.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Under a variety of circumstances, having skim running can cause applications to permanently lose the ability to receive keyboard input. Many programs seem to be affected, including xterm, opera, swing-based java applications, but triggering the bug reliably is not simple. Sometimes switching desktops will do it. Sometimes rapidly opening and closing a dialog, or otherwise changing focus within an application will do it. The following is the only completely reliable trigger I've found: 1. Log in to kde, making sure skim starts (it appears to do so automatically if it's installed) 2. Start openoffice.org calc 3. ctrl+f to open the find dialog 4. esc to close the find dialog The result is that OO apparently no longer receives keyboard events. The program itself operates properly otherwise, and responds to the mouse. As mentioned previously, there are many other instances where similar results can be obtained, though in some cases the application can be revived up opening a new window, typing in it, and closing it. In other cases, it appears to be a complete loss. Using the gtk-scim panel applet rather than skim or using a different window manager seems to influence some of these bugs, but never eliminates them. This is with: skim-1.4.5-120 scim-anthy-1.2.4-28 scim-m17n-0.2.2-70 scim-1.4.7-24 scim-qtimm-0.9.4-121 installed and no manual configuration. I've verified this on two 10.3 installs and a 10.2 install, so this has probably been around for awhile.
