In my example the line: "-focus is from mozilla in desktop "A" to xterm in desktop "B"" should read: "-focus is *moved* from mozilla in desktop "A" to *an* xterm in desktop "B"". The line: "-after some delay ":wd" is observed in the xterm window" probably should read: "-after some delay ":wd" is observed in the *newly focused* xterm window". So again, the problem I'm encountering is a situation where one changes the given *desktop* to another *desktop*. In doing so, for this example, *focus* is also changed from one *window* having *focus* (in this case mozilla) to another *window* (bash/xterm) in another *desktop*. If I were to enumerate the *desktops*, mozilla would be contained in *desktop* 1, while the bash/xterm *window* would be in *desktop* 2. Again, upon taking this action, unknown (non-printable) keyboard data is (somehow) inserted into the keyboard data stream which is only noticed upon typing data into the newly *focus*ed *window*. This effect is more pronounced while running something like "bc" in an xterm. Other than a switch in *desktops*, I can't seem to find any logic to it. Some xterms in the newly switched-to *desktop* will be fine but one will recieve bogus characters as soon as it receives *focus* and one begins to type. The longer a given xterm sits idle (before switching to it) the more likely it is to occur however. As far as I have observed, as long as one stays in the same *desktop* switching between *windows* in that *desktop* does not generate the error. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I can't figure out how to add a new comment. One other elment that might be important in reproducing the bug is that all the examples were using *auto-raise*. I don't think I've ever seen the error in any of our machines (configured with SuSE10.0) that were'nt also configured to *auto-raise*.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=237230 ------- Comment #6 from robin.listas@telefonica.net 2007-02-20 06:48 MST ------- I also get that behaviour. I'm using gnome in 10.2, but had that as well in 10.1 and I think in 9.3 - that's as far as I can remember. I get extra chars, usually control chars, inputted to the switched-to app, specially if it is an xterm, triggering unpredictable actions. It might be related to #141443 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Now I have 10.3 (upgraded from 10.2) and I have been carefully watching it to see if the problem persists, because I'm not sure. I believe I mostly can't reproduce the problem, so my doubts. But sometimes I got an unexpected "glitch" which could be "the problem", but it happens so few times that it catches me unawares and I'm unsure. The procedure to reproduce the problem was switching from a workspace where I had been working to another in which an xterm had focus. If this xterm had Pine running, the effect could be unpredictable, it got control keys in the buffer, and as soon as I pressed any key they would be entered (control and chars) triggering any action that was binded to them by the app. But as I say, I don't see this in 10.3, or not consistently. I do get it still when using [Ctrl][Alt][F7] to return from text mode to X11, specially if I'm a bit slow releasing the keys - but that's Bug #141443 Mmmm... just now I had a glitch: mozilla became unresponsive. I switched to another workspace, typed on an xterm, no problem, back, mozilla responded. Dunno. It seems "works for me" - or almost so. Please, ask the original reporter, too. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
