Does anyone else have the following frustrating problem? I have found
that if I accidentially touch the trackpad (I have trackpad clicking
and
dragging enabled on my iBook) while changing windows (Command-~ or
Command-Tab) then frequently the result is that all my X11 windows
stop
responding to input.
Does no one else at all experience this problem?
Yes, I see what you're talking about - happens with a mouse too, but
it's obviously easier to do by accident with a trackpad.
How to reproduce the effect: hit command-~ (to switch X11 window), but
click the mouse/trackpad before releasing the keys. It could take a few
goes to get it happen - seems to be rather dependent on timing... (I've
found the most effective way to ensure it happens is to hold down
command-~, causing the windows to flick through focus, and just
randomly click in X11 windows until it stops working.)
I'd guess it has something to do with the window focus trying to switch
in two ways at once - first, through command-~, and also through the
mouse click, causing quartz-wm to get confused.
Result: X11 windows no longer respond to keyboard/mouse input. (Still
possible to switch window using the Window/Dock menu, but it doesn't
help get it going again.)
Looks like it's time to submit a bug report...
Bye!
Adrian
