Text boxes stop working at random in Linux builds :(

Post by Schizoid »

I searched these forums and bugzilla for something similar to this but could only find something from 2001...

Anyway I have:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031005 Firebird/0.7+

I am running Gentoo 1.4 and xfree 4.3.0-r3.

When I first load Firebird I usually cannot type in the url bar or search text box that is on my home page. I have to alt-tab out of FB and back in before it will work. This wouldn't be a big deal but it keeps "going out" and text boxes wont work.

For example typing this post I have had to alt-tab twice already! The browser doesn't seem to be frozen, the mouse still works and I can switch tabs and click links etc, just can't type anywhere.

No other program does this on my system. It is very strange and quite annoying when trying to make posts!

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Keyboard1"
    Driver "Keyboard"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us"
    Option "XkbCompat" ""
    Option "XkbOptions" ""
EndSection


Just for fun that is my keyboard section from my x config file, not that I think it makes a difference.

If anyone else has experienced anything like this I'd like to hear about it. Thank you!
