Problem was when the launcher was hidden, an async message saying the dash opened was coming through. The dash would enable input, setting X focus, and XIC focus. When the async message got to the launcher, it being hidden, then has to reveal it self and when it does that it needs to enable its input window so it accepts drag and drop from the dash and events work on it.
The solution now, make sure we sync xevent focus and XIC focus. That is, if a window is shown in nux it would change the XIC, but xevents are still being sent to the dashes window (well really generated for), which the XIC and the xevent would become out of sync. This means XFilterEvent would just return instead of passing the event to the current IM (the problem!). Now we just make sure both are synced so if unity tries to stomp on the focus things will work out :). ** Also affects: nux Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: nux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: nux (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: nux Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: nux Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: nux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: nux Assignee: (unassigned) => Brandon Schaefer (brandontschaefer) ** Changed in: nux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Brandon Schaefer (brandontschaefer) ** Changed in: nux (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Invalid ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Invalid ** Changed in: nux (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => In Progress ** Changed in: unity Status: In Progress => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1175669 Title: fcitx often fails to work in dash with Unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nux/+bug/1175669/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
