3) howto reproduce the bug
1. I left my computer for a few minutes with a running Eclipse (or
Texmaker) with focus. I was just writing so the cursor was blinking
inside the text area. It is important, that the application has a focus.
If the focus is on the web browser or the pdf viewer both applications
(Eclipse and Texmaker) are working fine after the screen saver.
2. I came back, and the screen saver was running. I entered my password
to free the screen. This bug appears only when the screen get locked
naturally, not with CTRL + ALT + L.
3. The application was still running, but the cursor disappeared. I could save
my last changes, I could mark text but I couldn't insert new one. (This is
valid for Eclipse and Texmaker)
Even other tabs behave the same (at least Texmaker, I don't remeber if Eclipse
behaves the same)
4. To regain write ability, you need to restart the application
4) expected behaviour
That I can write in Eclipse / Texmaker after the screensaver appears
PS:
I discovered this bug with two different programms, Eclipse and Texmaker, that
is the reason why I believe that this bug is not specific for on these
packages. Maybe the screensaver or a lib for displaying the textarea.
I hope this will help you to find the bug. If you need more Information
feel free to ask.
