Hi Yann and Marius, I'm in contact with the developers of FreeOrion and they asked me to relay a question to you.

You can switch with ALT-Tab between different windows and FreeOrion and sometimes you can't type because this locks your keyboard input. Can you confirm that pressing ALT again in this case allows you to type again? Another idea: > Reading the debian bug about the inconsistent time this problem occurs I > would like to > know if some notification mechanism snitches away the focus of the window. > Maybe that is something your user should test with some x11 event tracing. > xtrace or xev maybe show us the relevant hint. Can you try reproducing this bug and showing us the output of xtrace? xtrace freeorion > xtrace.log Perhaps another application interferes with FreeOrion and this might be a way to track down the issue. Thanks in advance. Regards, Markus
