I'm not the only user observing the problem, as you can see reading the bug and reading the mailing list discussion about it. I imagine there must be users who are not bugzilla participants or mailing list subscribers who see it too, and may not even know what's going on.
Folks, I have to concur. I just had to open bugzilla, find what the bug was about, and reproduced it in under 10 seconds. I can not believe that a SuSE engineer is unable to reproduce it. In fact, I have known of this bug for a very long time, but I didn't bother to report. I'm doing it now. My procedure: - leave firefox with focus - I'm using gnome in 10.1 stock plus security patches. - switch to a text console via ctrl-alt-f1, for instance. - switch back to X via alt-f7 - firefox pops up asking whether I want to enable caret browsing (F7 turn caret browsing on (screen shot available)). M f: - I can add more to this. If I switch to another workspace in gnome and back later to an xterm and some other apps, using the keyboard, extra meaningless text is inputted to the application (escape codes, I think). The usuall result in Pine is that it tries to activate a command, usually "unknown command", some other times pulling me out from the current view to the main menu, or trying to lock the app. It is a real nuisance. In midnight commander I get text in its command line (I use both apps a lot). It is random - Do you see that "M f:" before this paragraph? That's what I mean. This has been going for years, in several SuSE versions. I'm sure that if you ask around, many more people will tell you they can reproduce this behaviour. In fact, it was commented a week or two ago a problem with stuck keys in the keyboard, maybe related. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
