I forgot of one more thing. While the environment is in that broken 'mode', all gtk entry widgets (except firefox) don't display cursor. I can still type there, but i don't see the cursor.
I've just spotted a thing that may cause these misbehaviors. I use a usb-to-ps2 converter to connect my keyboard to the computer. It seems that this small device sometimes resets the keyboard. The keyboard lights its diodes for a second when that happens. I typed an url into firefox now and while typing the diodes blinked, then firefox stopped to accept key presses. My hypothesis is that due to keyboard reset a flag (possibly in gtk, fvwm, X or kernel) somewhere is set to wrong value. I tried xev to get keyboard state from X, but then I noticed that I can type in firefox again; i think xev is so low-level tool that it could change that flag. -- Weird behavior of gtk controls https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128256 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gtk+2.0 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
