Package: xfwm4 Version: 4.20.0-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I've been using xfce4 for decades, and I'm loving it. thanks for packaging the eco-system. having said that, I'm experiencing a problem with xfwm4 (on multiple machines) that makes it rather hard to use: whenever the screensaver kicks in (e.g. after a suspend/resume cycle on my laptop; or just leaving the desktop on for a prolonged time), and i then cancel the screen-saver (by logging in again), no window has keyboard focus, and I cannot type. i have to move the mouse first to another window, after which the keyboard works again. on my dual-screen desktop computer, this is not a big problem, as I usually have multiple windows open and can just change move the mouse to one of them. however, on my small-screen laptop this becomes serious, as I often run applications in full-screen mode. i found the hard way, that a lot of my applications, while supporting fullscreen, allow me to exit fullscreen only via a special *key* (ESC, F11, whatever), and *not* via the mouse (*some* applications have a right-click context-menu that allows you to exit fullscreen; but some don't) if the keyboard does not work, this basically means that you are locked in the current fullscreen window and cannot type. now, the problem seems to be, that I have setup the following focus model (which in general I like very much): - focus follows mouse - delay before window receives focus: shortest possible - do *not* automatically raise focused windows so my understanding of the issue is: 0. "focus follows mouse" means, that the focus is handed over to a window when the cursor *enters* that window. 1. whatever (fullscreen) window I'm currently working on has focus 2. when the system suspends or otherwise activates the screensaver, the screensaver receives focus. 3. when i want to exit the screensaver, the login-window receives focus (so I can properly type my credentials) 4. the screensaver deactivates and closes all its windows and the fullscreen window becomes visible again. 5. however, since the window is fullscreen, the cursor does not "enter" the window, so no "transfer focus" event is triggered. 6. no window has focus, so nothing receives keyboard events (probably the root window does have focus, but i can't even switch desktops) i would expect that the original focus is restored when the screensaver exits. i'm still running X11, using 'lightdm' as the display-manager and 'light-locker' as the screensaver. -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable-security'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.19.14+deb14-amd64 (SMP w/24 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages xfwm4 depends on: ii libc6 2.42-16 ii libcairo2 1.18.4-3+b1 ii libepoxy0 1.5.10-2+b2 ii libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 2.44.6+dfsg-2 ii libglib2.0-0t64 2.88.1-2 ii libgtk-3-0t64 3.24.52-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.57.1-2 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.57.1-2 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-8+b2 ii libwnck-3-0 43.3-1+b2 ii libx11-6 2:1.8.13-1 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.6-1+b2 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.7-1+b1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.4-1+b4 ii libxfce4ui-2-0 4.20.2-2 ii libxfce4util7 4.20.1-2 ii libxfconf-0-3 4.20.0-2 ii libxfixes3 1:6.0.0-2+b5 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.4-3+b5 ii libxpresent1 1.0.1-1+b3 ii libxrandr2 2:1.5.4-1+b4 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.12-1+b2 ii libxres1 2:1.2.1-2 Versions of packages xfwm4 recommends: ii librsvg2-common 2.62.1+dfsg-1 Versions of packages xfwm4 suggests: ii xfce4 4.20.1 -- no debconf information
