Comment #9 on issue 557 by joeyhe...@gmail.com: xmonad grabs keyboard and mouse on focus follows mouse, reproducibly http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=557 I reported this bug when I'd just switched to a new laptop. I noticed that over time, the frequency of the bug happening went down. I apparently was doing something when the hardware was new to me, that I stopped doing. Probably fat-fingering its clickpad in some way was causing it to occur early on. Also, using the touch screen it's easy to reproduce the bug, but you need a touch screen (and now I keep mine turned off!) Today, I found another, perhaps better way to reproduce a similar problem. All I need is a single window open in the current workspace. I first press and hold the left Windows key (mod). Then I press and release the right Alt key (this should be identical to clicking mouse button 2, which my laptop does not allow doing in hardware.. I use xkbset to bind right Alt to mouse button 2). Then I release the left Windows key. Unlike the problem initially described, this results in the mouse movement not getting grabbed. Otherwise the behavior is as described: No key presses or mouse clicks (or focus follows mouse) has any effect, until I restart xmonad. For some reason, I can't reproduce that with the stock xmonad configuration. However, I can reproduce it with the default mouseBindings setting. If I install a custom mouseBindings that leaves off the mod-button2 binding, that naturally avoids the problem. (However, clicking on the touch screen can still cause the problem in that configuration.) BTW, I seem to see some flashing of the window border when this bug happens, as if the window lost and regained focus. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.
