| I usually work with both options checked: 'Do not let applications receive the click used to focus windows' and 'Automatically focus new windows'. I just tried to uncheck the last one, as it seemed it could be the cause of the problem, but it didn't work: the problem still happens.
Thanks for your answer anyway. - Eric - On 21 juil. 10, at 19:11, Gregory Casamento wrote: What settings do you have selected in the WindowMaker preferences? GC On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 4:36 AM, Eric Brunel < eric.brunel@pragmadev.com> wrote: Hello all,
I'm currently using the latest Debian Linux distribution with WindowMaker as
my window manager and a few GNUstep applications, mainly GWorkspace and
Terminal. And I have a weird problem with the keyboard focus. The problem
seems to happen only when a window is focused automatically by WindowMaker.
In this case, most of the time, if I type a key corresponding to a menu
shortcut, the corresponding menu item will be triggered. But if the key is
not a keyboard shortcut for a menu item, it will go to the application
window normally. So for example, if I start to type 'cd' in a terminal
window, the 'c' will trigger the Edit/Copy menu item, and only the 'd' will
appear in the terminal. There doesn't seem to be any visual hint when the
problem happens, the window seems focused, with its title bar in the correct
style. And the problem does not always happen, but happens quite often
anyway.
Usually, clicking on another window, then back on the previous one, or
playing with the window a bit will solve the problem. But if another window
is opened on top of it and then closed, the focus might get messed up again
This forces me to be very careful and test every window each time it gets
focused automatically, which is quite painful. I had the same problem after
resizing an already active window too.
I tried changing a few WindowMaker options, like 'Do not let applications
receive the click used to focus windows' and 'Automatically focus new
windows', but whether they're checked or not, the problem still happens.
Is there any workaround for this? Or a trick to make it work correctly? The
versions I'm using are the ones included in Debian 5.0 (lenny), which are:
WindowMaker 0.92.0
GNUstep make 2.0.6
GNUstep base 1.16.1
GNUstep GUI 0.14.0
GNUstep back 0.14
Thanks!
