Re: Sudden lose of keyboard input.

You mean a hidden lyx dialog that is accepting keyboard input? Last
time this happened, I was typing without doing anything special. Also,
Alt-F etc works...

I will minimize all windows and check next time it happens.


The problem strikes again. I can not enter anything in the main
windows, but I can open a dialog and input. I minimize lyx and do not
find anything.

Bo,

  What OS? What other processes are running?

Bo,

There's an earlier thread (started with message 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dated 7/11 from Sven Schreiber, subject 
bug(?): strange behavior after ctrl-shift-left) that describes a bug 
causing keyboard lock-out.  When this one occurs, you can still use 
alt-F etc. to get to the menu, but you can't type (or cursor around) in 
the document pane.


When you lose keyboard control, does that include menu commands?

I will check that.

No. Menu items work well, I can even type in dialogs like file-settings.

Sudden lose of keyboard input.

[Bo Peng]

Dear all,

I have lyx 1.4.2 installed on a win2k system. I can not reliably
reproduce this, but after a few minutes, lyx would not respond to
keyboard input. Mouse/menu etc still work. All other applications
(cygwin, firefox etc) still get keyboard input.

Has anyone experienced the same behavior? Can anyone give a wild guess
what might have gone wrong? I am using the cua binding. I have
change-tracking on. I am turning to cygwin/lyx now.

Annoyed.
Bo

Follow up:

I can use Alt-F etc to invoke menu and use arrow keys to navigate the
lyx menu (but not moving cursor in the main window). To see if my
keyboard is jammed in any way, I use on-screen keyboard, and lyx still
does not respond.

It seems to me that this is a bad lyx bug ... how can I debug?

 Can't really help, but it sounds familiar: with the
