Re: Xephyr bug with Firefox
I also run Firefox in Xephyr - on debian 32bit. I _often_ have had the capslock or shift get stuck, and I too always had to restart Xephyr. IIRC it always got stuck when I alt-tab away from (or back to) Xephyr (maybe because I hit the shift key accidentally? or maybe the capslock was on? ) I hope you can find an answer; please let me know. If you file a bug, please forward it to me &/or send me a link. Thanks Charles

Newer Xephyr incorporated long awaiting feature - resizable Xephyr window. jirib

In other words, Xephyr's virtual shift key is stuck on. Have you tried toggling the shift key to reset it? Then again, I'm highly suspicious of any program running on OpenBSD that claims to have allocated not just one, but two SE Linuxes. vm32:~> Xephyr :1 2 XSELINUXs still allocated at reset
Xephyr bug with Firefox
Hello. I use Xephyr with Firefox. I also run Firefox as a dedicated user. At seemingly random times, but on a regular basis, Firefox will behave oddly. Firefox will open links in a new window, scrolling up or down with my touchpad will cause the tab to go forward or backward through browser history, and sometimes capslock will be on when typing in Firefox, even though capslock is off. Restarting Firefox does not fix these issues, but restarting Xephyr does. These issues typically happen when Firefox has been loaded and idle for many hours, although once it happened after only being loaded for a few minutes. I'm guessing this is a memory corruption bug. Could any of you try to reproduce this bug, and could any of you suggest some simple ways (simple like strace) of debugging this? I would like to have something concrete to report to the Xephyr folks so that it gets fixed quickly. I am running a recent snapshot on an AMD64 with 6GB of memory. I have no other problems with other software, so I think I can rule out damaged hardware. Thanks
