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 Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481656 Title: iBus blocks input in Java application Status in IBus: Unknown Status in Iced Tea: Confirmed Status in “ibus” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “icedtea-java7” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: ibus This is a very unfortunate bug, as it is hard to reproduce :(. I use ThinkingRock, a Java application, and after some time the keyboard input stops working for this application, meaning I can still use my mouse to manipulate the program, but I cannot type anything. When closing the iBus Daemon the input works again after some seconds. Also restarting the Java application helps to postpone the problem until it occurs again some minutes later. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 with version 1.2.0.20090927-2ubuntu2 of iBus and version 2.2.1 of ThinkingRock. My Java version is 6-15-1. Please notice: I do NOT want to input Chinese or Japanese or anything like it. I just want to normally use my keyboard. I also have NO input method selected, I have the input methods turned OFF. I have yet to test this behavior with other Java applications (maybe it's a bug in ThinkingRock?), so I'd be happy if somebody can confirm this bug for other Java applications. Because the solution is to quit the iBus Daemon, I suspect iBus to be the problem.
