Public bug reported: On Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop 32-bit. 1. Login into Ubuntu with normal user. 2. Everything works fine also in Firefox without a problem. 3. Wait for few minutes that screen gets locked or press Super+L to lock a screen. 4. Now on log on screen select another user and login. 5. Start Firefox (default browser installed when Ubuntu is installed). 6. Click in location bar and try to type something in it. It looks like keyboard does not work. This is a problem! With mouse selecting some saved link from bookmarks and then try to use keyboard, Home/End/PageUp/PageDown works without a problem, but typing letters in location or search box can not be performed. Looks like a keyboard problem. But open Gedit, Terminal or any other application and typing letters works without a problem.
Work-around for this problem: 1. Close Firefox. 2. Open Terminal and type in: who -u To get the pid of logged in user. 3. Kill process: sudo kill -9 <pid> 4. Start Firefox and now typing in location and search box works fine. I can reproduce this problem every time!
