Hi

I'm running Open Office under SuSE Linux 10.1 and am experiencing problems with keyboard input. I have seen the same problem with versions 2.2 and 2.4.

It may be related to SKIM but this is the only application I'm seeing it with. VIM, Mozilla (Composer) and Thunderbird all seem to work fine. I've done Google looking for others with the same problem and also looked around the open office site but don't quite know where to go from here other than back to XP for editing doc's. Any suggestions??

EXACTLY what happens with input? I'm using SUSE 10.1 (going to 10.2 in a couple of days) with NO problems.

It's hard to pin down exactly what is happening because for what I'm doing at the moment, I'm not using the keyboard all the time. I have been using OO to create Japanese flash cards and am mostly just creating tables from a comma-separated-list and using the table/convert function to create the tables, then using the other table commands to format the table. I notice it first when control-A no longer works to select or when key input to the menu for setting cell height stops working.

At some point the keyboard input just seems to stop working. It's always been within a few minutes of starting using the application.

I have a feeling it has to do with skim. This would be too obvious a problem to get out easily. I must be doing something unusual. I'm using SKIM for Japanese input and noticed that the shift-space that is supposed to take me from one input mode to the other also isn't working, although it works fine if input is into an xterm or mterm.

Have you checked the key bindings of the respective programmes? They may be in conflict.
