I can confirm this for sun java 1.6.0_43-b01. I have to keep hammering keys and it's not easy to reproduce except when I least want it.
Killing ibus doesn't help, because the problem persist as long as ibus is running (it starts itself up again). Running the following simple script lets me type in the application again. If the java application is closed and started again, the application accepts keyevents until at a random time it stops again. I've debugged the application (it's my own app) and I can see no Events being handled for keys, so either it's lowlevel, or it's in ibus. Running 12.10, but please note that I'm running HotSpot JVM, ie Oracle's binary distribution of java that isn't really modern when it comes to X11. If someone cares about this bug enough to investigate, I can try it on icedtea as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481656 Title: iBus blocks input in Java application To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ibus/+bug/481656/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
