Folks, I have to concur.
I just had to open bugzilla, find what the bug was about, and reproduced
it in under 10 seconds. I can not believe that a SuSE engineer is unable
to reproduce it. In fact, I have known of this bug for a very long time,
but I didn't bother to report. I'm doing it now.
My procedure:
- leave firefox with focus - I'm using gnome in 10.1 stock plus security
patches.
- switch to a text console via ctrl-alt-f1, for instance.
- switch back to X via alt-f7
- firefox pops up asking whether I want to enable caret browsing (F7
turn caret browsing on (screen shot available)).
M f:
- I can add more to this. If I switch to another workspace in gnome and
back later to an xterm and some other apps, using the keyboard, extra
meaningless text is inputted to the application (escape codes, I
think). The usuall result in Pine is that it tries to activate a
command, usually "unknown command", some other times pulling me out
from the current view to the main menu, or trying to lock the app. It
is a real nuisance. In midnight commander I get text in its command
line (I use both apps a lot). It is random - Do you see that "M f:"
before this paragraph? That's what I mean. This has been going for
years, in several SuSE versions.
I'm sure that if you ask around, many more people will tell you they can
reproduce this behaviour.
In fact, it was commented a week or two ago a problem with stuck keys
in the keyboard, maybe related.
