Bug#725017: Fixed in 0.9.0+dfsg2-1
Haven't tried freemind in a while, but just did again today - and it's listening to the keyboard as I expect once more. Hurrah !

we often used jedit in the past as a guinea pig that shows if a problem is due to Java and its environment, or to FreeMind/Freeplane. Installed jedit, ran it; it's ignoring keyboard input, too. So sounds like Java's the actual problem. The alternatives system is using java-7-openjdk-amd64. What other does it make sense to try in its place ?

If you claim that Freemind was working before, Yes, freemind worked fine some time in spring this year. I forget exactly when. it is more likely that something else changed within your desktop environment. I can't think of a way to work out what. No other application has exhibited any even remotely similar symptoms, aside from freeplane, which appears to just be a variant on freemind. Do you know of other applications that use the same UI toolset, that I could test out to see if they have the same problem ?

Thanks for checking up on that. See a couple of comments up from me, where I noted that I've had the same problem in freeplane. Both the freeplane bug you mention and the upstream bug report are worked round by exiting and restarting. This does not work for me: in a cleanly started freemind (or freeplane) session, having just logged in to a fresh X session, the keyboard is simply ignored (except that modifier keys do affect what mouse clicks do). I'll look into this a bit more closely when I'm sober and not about to head out on the town ;- Eddy. __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers.

I've just upgraded to freemind 0.9.0+dfsg-3 and tested it out. Sad to say, I see no improvement :-( Eddy. __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers.

Curious to know when to expect the mentioned dfsg-3 release to show up, I searched debian.org for freemind and found the thread about adopting it, in which freeplane got mentioned. So I gave that a try, to see if it fares any better: it exhibited exactly the same problem as freemind. Is there a simple way to make sure the freeplane maintainer(s) also get to know about (a) this bug and (b) the changes you believe shall fix it ? Or is the simplest thing for me to just submit an almost-duplicate report against freplane ?

Bug#725017: freemnd: ignores keyboard input
Package: freemind Version: 0.9.0+dfsg-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I opened freemind. It helpfully opened the last .mm I'd been working on (which is about 2.4 MB in size). It was, however, partly off-screen (as it always is; it opens with the top of the window somewhere off the top of the screen). I moved it down to where I could see it all. I clicked in the work area to put focus in the right place and started navigating with the keyboard, as is my wont. Nothing happened; the central node remained selected. I opened other nodes by clicking on them (randomly opening web pages to which some are linked in the process) with the mouse to get to where I wanted to edit the mind-map. I tried keyboard actions at various points, to no avail. I checked the menus to be sure I was typing the right short-cuts. I told it to add a node: but when I typed content for the node, nothing happened. I was, however, able to paste content in from another application. Previously the keyboard worked fine ... I don't know what's changed: the installed version of freemind is the same as in stable, so it's not what changed. Perhaps java ? Hard to tell. I'm using fvwm as my window-manager; other applications get keyboard input just fine. I'm using Debian/testing and typically update each week. It's been several weeks since I last used freemind. Exiting and restarting made no difference. Uninstalling and reinstalling afresh was also no help :-( -- Package-specific info: [debug] /usr/bin/freemind: Found JAVA_HOME = '/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64' [debug] /usr/bin/freemind: Found JAVA_CMD = '/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin/java' DEBUG: Freemind parameters are ''.

Bug#725017: freemnd: ignores keyboard input
Oddly, I find that freemind *does* know when I'm holding down the shift key: when I select one node, then shift-click to select a second to make a local hyperlink, it works. I'm unable to select the text in a node, e.g. to delete it or over-write it with new text. When I've pasted some text into a new node, there's no way to tell it I've finished, so it doesn't actually save the node until I do something else; creating a new sibling or child node works but I've found various other actions (sorry, didn't note down which) that lead to it still showing the edit box, with my text in it, but saving the node still empty, ignoring the edit it's still displaying. The user experience is full of pain, working without keyboard access ! But I managed (eventually) to make my edits. Something very weird is going wrong here. I can't think of anything else that uses java except web browser applets; I find that the BankID applet (used by Norwegian banks to verify customers) does accept typed input just fine, but I've no idea how the plugin behaviour relates, if at all, to a desktop application's.
