Title:
Keystrokes are hijacked by inactive window
Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
Invalid
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Recently, possibly in the upgrade to Thunderbird 24.0, I've found that
the front-most, active window often will not receive keystrokes.
Instead they are being sent to the background, inactive window. For
example, I attempt to reply to an email, and start typing. I see text
in the body as expected, then a second after beginning, the text is
sent to the main mail index window. The front-most window is shown
as selected in the pager, while a non-selected window receives the
keystrokes. This means that for long periods, I am unable to send and
compose emails. In addition, I'm also often mid-sentence when I
realise that the characters aren't appearing, and I've done some weird
filing/labelling in the mail index window.
I can alt-tab or click between windows, but cannot seem to type into
the compose window. Otherwise, clicking does all you expect it to. You
can select menus of the window; you can even select text (although
it's the background window grey instead of the foreground window
blue).
I tried to make sure that it was not an issue with X/KDE by testing to
see what the reported active window was.
$ xwininfo | grep -i 'window id'
xwininfo: Window id: 0x3c001f6 Inbox - Uni - Mozilla Thunderbird
$ xwininfo | grep -i 'window id'
xwininfo: Window id: 0x3c0670c Write: Re: Foo Bar - Unicode (UTF-8)
$ sleep 1 xprop -root | grep -E '^_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW'
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW(WINDOW): window id # 0x3c001f6
$ sleep 1 xprop -root | grep -E '^_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW'
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW(WINDOW): window id # 0x3c0670c
It seems that even when the active window is reported to be the
compose window by X, it will still not receive input. I presume that
it's Thunderbird hijacking the active window internally.
I don't see this in any other application, except for Firefox
occasionally. It used to be fairly frequent in Firefox six months ago,
but appears to have diminished in frequency since then.
Here is a troubleshooting thread for this issue.

I suspect it *is* Mozilla, but I'm not sure. It'd be great to hear from
some devs here.
I did do some troubleshooting in the following threads that might be useful:
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111t=110202
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111t=117704
I was told Firefox has quite a lot issues with X as they more or less
have their own toolkit instead of going with default ones. Indeed I
have only come across this problem with FF/TB and unclutter, and nothing
else.

I'm not sure if you followed my link, but killing unclutter and stopping
it from running at startup fixes this for me.

Title:
Keystrokes are hijacked by inactive window
Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
New
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Recently, possibly in the upgrade to Thunderbird 24.0, I've found that
the front-most, active window often will not receive keystrokes.
Instead they are being sent to the background, inactive window. For
example, I attempt to reply to an email, and start typing. I see text
in the body as expected, then a second after beginning, the text is
sent to the main mail index window. The front-most window is shown
as selected in the pager, while a non-selected window receives the
keystrokes. This means that for long periods, I am unable to send and
compose emails. In addition, I'm also often mid-sentence when I
realise that the characters aren't appearing, and I've done some weird
filing/labelling in the mail index window.
I can alt-tab or click between windows, but cannot seem to type into
the compose window. Otherwise, clicking does all you expect it to. You
can select menus of the window; you can even select text (although
it's the background window grey instead of the foreground window
blue).
I tried to make sure that it was not an issue with X/KDE by testing to
see what the reported active window was.
$ xwininfo | grep -i 'window id'
xwininfo: Window id: 0x3c001f6 Inbox - Uni - Mozilla Thunderbird
$ xwininfo | grep -i 'window id'
xwininfo: Window id: 0x3c0670c Write: Re: Foo Bar - Unicode (UTF-8)
$ sleep 1 xprop -root | grep -E '^_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW'
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW(WINDOW): window id # 0x3c001f6
$ sleep 1 xprop -root | grep -E '^_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW'
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW(WINDOW): window id # 0x3c0670c
It seems that even when the active window is reported to be the
compose window by X, it will still not receive input. I presume that
it's Thunderbird hijacking the active window internally.
I don't see this in any other application, except for Firefox
occasionally. It used to be fairly frequent in Firefox six months ago,
but appears to have diminished in frequency since then.
Here is a troubleshooting thread for this issue.

Andrew, do you see this bug in both Firefox and Thunderbird? If, like me, you see it more frequently in Thunderbird, the following might help. I was also hit by this (unrelated?) bug in the upgrade. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=917027 Applying the fix for that bug seems to mitigate this bug a little, although it doesn't totally fix it. I still get this bug intermittently, but it *seems* to be less frequent. The fix is: Edit Preferences Advanced General Config Editor.

I tried to make sure that it was not an issue with X/KDE by testing to see what the reported active window was. First I found window IDs with xwininfo | grep -i 'window id' Then, when the bug occurred, I attempted to see if keystrokes were being passed to the active (but non-responsive) window with xev -id 0x123456 | grep Key I also did the same for the background window that was actually responding to the keystrokes. It seems that the active (but non- responsive) window was indeed receiving keystrokes, and the other one was not, although it was responding to them..

Andrew, do you see this bug in both Firefox and Thunderbird?
If, like me, you see it more frequently in Thunderbird, the following
might help. I was also hit by this (unrelated?) bug in the upgrade.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=917027
Applying the fix for that bug seems to mitigate this bug a little,
although it doesn't totally fix it. I still get this bug intermittently,
but it *seems* to be less frequent.
The fix is: Edit Preferences Advanced General Config Editor.
Search for mail.compose.max_recycled_windows, double click it, and
change the '1' to '0' in the 'Enter integer value' window that pops up.

Title:
Keystrokes are hijacked by inactive window
Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
New
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Recently, possibly in the upgrade to Thunderbird 24.0, I've found that
the front-most, active window often will not receive keystrokes.
Instead they are being sent to the background, inactive window. For
example, I attempt to reply to an email, and start typing. I see text
in the body as expected, then a second after beginning, the text is
sent to the main mail index window. The front-most window is shown
as selected in the pager, while a non-selected window receives the
keystrokes. This means that for long periods, I am unable to send and
compose emails. In addition, I'm also often mid-sentence when I
realise that the characters aren't appearing, and I've done some weird
filing/labelling in the mail index window.
I can alt-tab or click between windows, but cannot seem to type into
the compose window. Otherwise, clicking does all you expect it to. You
can select menus of the window; you can even select text (although
it's the background window grey instead of the foreground window
blue).
I tried to make sure that it was not an issue with X/KDE by testing to
see what the reported active window was.
$ xwininfo | grep -i 'window id'
xwininfo: Window id: 0x3c001f6 Inbox - Uni - Mozilla Thunderbird
$ xwininfo | grep -i 'window id'
xwininfo: Window id: 0x3c0670c Write: Re: Foo Bar - Unicode (UTF-8)
$ sleep 1 xprop -root | grep -E '^_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW'
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW(WINDOW): window id # 0x3c001f6
$ sleep 1 xprop -root | grep -E '^_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW'
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW(WINDOW): window id # 0x3c0670c
It seems that even when the active window is reported to be the
compose window by X, it will still not receive input. I presume that
it's Thunderbird hijacking the active window internally.
I don't see this in any other application, except for Firefox
occasionally. It used to be fairly frequent in Firefox six months ago,
but appears to have diminished in frequency since then.
Here is a troubleshooting thread for this issue.
