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!
