Public bug reported: Ok, so this one was quite strange ;-)
I was watching a video on Youtube, which I had fullscreened/de- fullscreened a few times. When the video finished, I tried to search for a different one, except that the search box wouldn't get any of my typing. Then, I tried switching to another app (in this case Smuxi IRC client but I don't think that is relevant), and it too would not accept any text input from my keyboard. So at this point I could switch apps by mouse but the keyboard was essentially totally unresponsive... *except* that I was able to Ctrl+Alt+F1 into a console and kill firefox, at which point keyboard behavior in X returned to normal. Not sure what other information you might need to troubleshoot this but I am more than willing to help out if given some instructions ;-) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: firefox 19.0~b1+build2-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.7.0-7.15-generic 3.7.0 Uname: Linux 3.7.0-7-generic x86_64 AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False ApportVersion: 2.8-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: robru 2232 F.... pulseaudio BuildID: 20130108230421 Channel: Unavailable Date: Fri Jan 11 14:33:26 2013 EcryptfsInUse: Yes ForcedLayersAccel: False IfupdownConfig: auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-09-14 (119 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Alpha amd64 (20120905.2) IpRoute: default via 192.168.42.129 dev usb0 proto static 192.168.42.0/24 dev usb0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.42.107 metric 1 MarkForUpload: True MostRecentCrashID: bp-8b8788dd-b950-4ce9-b793-c76272121204 PrefSources: prefs.js ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_CA.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash Profiles: Profile0 (Default) - LastVersion=19.0/20130108230421 (In use) RelatedPackageVersions: gnome-shell 3.6.2-0ubuntu4 totem-mozilla 3.6.3-0ubuntu2 rhythmbox-mozilla 2.98-0ubuntu3 google-talkplugin 3.10.2.0-1 RfKill: 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no RunningIncompatibleAddons: False SourcePackage: firefox SubmittedCrashIDs: bp-8b8788dd-b950-4ce9-b793-c76272121204 bp-c6e9c5df-c513-4914-854f-3ecc02121204 bp-ee6dfd3d-3be2-49ed-9dbf-4c2422121119 bp-cdba00d5-cfcc-4e53-981d-132692121117 bp-d77c9ac0-76fb-46f2-87a4-981142121107 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to raring on 2012-11-14 (57 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 05/16/2012 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 4.6.5 dmi.board.asset.tag: Tag 12345 dmi.board.name: Gazelle Professional dmi.board.vendor: System76, Inc. dmi.board.version: gazp7 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Tag dmi.chassis.type: 9 dmi.chassis.vendor: No Enclosure dmi.chassis.version: N/A dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr4.6.5:bd05/16/2012:svnSystem76,Inc.:pnGazelleProfessional:pvrgazp7:rvnSystem76,Inc.:rnGazelleProfessional:rvrgazp7:cvnNoEnclosure:ct9:cvrN/A: dmi.product.name: Gazelle Professional dmi.product.version: gazp7 dmi.sys.vendor: System76, Inc. ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug raring running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098749 Title: Firefox won't release keyboard focus... ever.
