[e-users] Focus help with Firefox!
I could really use some help tracking this bug down. It is killing me. I just upgraded to 16.7 from 16.6 and the problem became quite a bit worse. Under Linux in Firefox, I frequently open web links in a new window by middle clicking. As that window draws and fills with content, I usually immediately drag it out of the way of the original window with alt-left-click. When I try and do this too quickly, the window steals focus and cannot be moved. Since 16.7, my mouse then is frequently trapped within the Firefox window. My only recourse is to leave X via Alt-shift-Fsomething to a text desktop and kill the firefox. However, since upgrading to 16.7, that does not always fix the problem. Since upgrading, I sometimes then get left with focus anchored within an xterm. In this state, I am unable to move the mouse outside of the xterm window and the mouse pointer reverts to the classical X Windows X pointer. Today, I was only able to escape from that xterm by killing it (next step would have been to terminate the X server). This occurs with Firefox 0.8 through the current 0.10.1 release. I realize not everyone opens links in new windows with the frequency that I do. But I have found it is the most efficient way to work on a fast machine with lots of screen real estate. Any help on tracking this down or working around it would be appreciated. Thank you! --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?

First try updating to 16.7.1, which has some mouse pointer lockup fixes. /Kim --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?

Re: [e-users] Focus help with Firefox!
I should have been more specific. I am running 0.16.7.1. It was downloaded and built as an ebuild. If you believe a CVS build might help, I would try it. % enlightenment -V Enlightenment Version: 0.16.7.1 Last updated on: $Date: 2004/08/20 21:37:24 $ Thank you On Wed, 13 Oct 2004 19:25:04 +0200, Kim Woelders [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Free Lunch wrote: I could really use some help tracking this bug down.
