I'm running cygwin x on my laptop [version 1.7.29(0.272/5/3), Windows 7 prof], start windows on remote machines (cygwin and linux mint), that are exported to my laptop. I've noted the problem for more than a year now and it's irritating still, new versions of cygwin and applications notwithstanding.
Here's what happens: I enter text into emacs, move mouse to an xterm, click and enter text there, but text is going into emacs. I can only move keyboard flow away from emacs after having done some nuisance operations in the emacs window, like moving around the pointer; it mostly helps with one such instance, sometimes I have to repeat. It's rather unpredictable. The raised status of the xterm window, however, is deceiving me. So text goes even into hidden emacs windows. Vague guess: Something's waiting in emacs to get satisfied so it would release the keyboard association. I don't want focus-follows-mouse without a click for focus shift. So I haven't tried this option. Would expect it wouldn't help. Is there an environment setting that would help? Anything else to get rid of the glue? -- Med vänliga hälsningar / With best regards yours ----- Hans-Georg Scherneck / A \ ---------------------+----------------------------------- | / \ | .
