Tom I am seeing the same thing with the almost same setup. Have not had a chance to do any digging into the problem.

I was suspecting a hardware issue as I am suspicious of my HDD and have gotten "potentially bad sector" warnings but now I am more suspicious of Gnome. 73 Dave KB3EFS On 01/01/15 01:47, Tom Russo wrote: > Have had this issue a few times recently while trying to use Xastir on > Ubuntu 14.04 during SAR missions. > > After a few uses of dialog boxes, suddenly am finding that I can't type into > the text fields.
