I can confirm my previous content: - the issue is intermittent - when and only when I'm observing it in Gedit, I'm also observing it in Chrome and Firefox (*) - suspending+resuming, and rebooting, seems to be what, at random times, fixes the issue or makes it reappear.
(*) I can't provide an URL to test the issue on browsers. It's a private page with restricted access with javascript that does the following: when you double click on a text it converts it into an input text field, and when you hit Enter or remove focus from it, it saves changes and the input field is replaced by plain text again. WHEN the issue is present, hitting AltGr has the same effect than hitting Enter or Esc or clicking away. When the issue is not present, everything works as expected and I can type @, #, etc. Exactly the same as in Gedit. So: ** this is NOT IN GEDIT, it's much more general, though I have no idea what the correct package is. ** Importance should be raised to HIGH OR CRITICAL. This issue means randomly being randomly unable to type and edit text in several contexts. While the number of affected users may be small, the impact is disastrous. It matches both these criteria: (critical) Severely affects applications beyond the package responsible for the root cause (major) Renders essential features or functionality of the application or dependencies broken or ineffective -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301784 Title: cannot search text beginning with Alt(-gr) special character To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1301784/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
