Hi,
when xterm has keyboard focus, but mouse pointer is outside of the window (or
even on Window's blue title bar):
- all blind keys are ignored:
o instead of 'à' (key '`' then 'a') you get just a normal 'a'
o can't type '^' character (on a German keyboard done with blind '^' key
then space)
-> you will just get the space instead
o same with '`' or '´': all blind keys are affected
- can't paste text with the mouse
- all other keys work as expected
Effect:
- While working and not noticing that the mouse pointer slowly left the window,
in vi you want to jump to mark a (typing `a).
'`' is ignored and the 'a' brings vi into append mode!
- typing something like ":%s/^xxx/yyy/" is annoying, because you can't type ^,
until you reposition the mouse pointer inside the window
100 % reproducable.
When the mouse pointer is inside the xterm, everything works fine:
you get à or ^ and can paste text.
It makes no difference whether I use XWin.20110803-git-a493c0465e56ce0b or
XWin.exe from the release.
Logs of xev and XWin.log (with -logverbose 3) are in the attachment.
The XWin.logs are the same regardless if mouse is inside or outside,
but I notice a small difference in xev's output.
Thanks & regards,
Paul
