I'm also affected by this on 14.04 with IDEA's IntelliJ. I used to see it on older releases as well. "ibus restart" helps to kick things back into cooperation. It's hard to reproduce; I would say it happens about 5 times per week on average, but on a bad day I can get it several times in a matter of an hour or so.
Keyboard input never gets lost halfway typing something, but always right after a bit of window/desktop switching. I always switch windows/desktops using keyboard shortcuts (alt-tab for windows, ctrl- alt-j/k for desktops). During those I often hit Alt or Super by accident, opening the HUD or the launcher respectively. I have a strong feeling, but am not 100% certain that those are involved as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded 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: Invalid Status in “icedtea-java7” package in Ubuntu: Invalid 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.
