I am seeing this In Ubuntu using the Gnome desktop as well. The konsole window gets into a state where it appears that it has focus, but does not respond to keyboard input, and has a 'hollow cursor'. The way I ran into it was by using multiple konsole windows on different desktops and switching between them.
I have found a quick way to reproduce this state in Ubuntu Natty 11.04 while using compiz and the wall desktop: 1. On desktop 1, open konsole 1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Down to switch to desktop 2 2. Open another konsole window and maximize it 3. Press Ctrl+Alt+Up and click the 1st konsole window so it has focus 4. Alternate between the desktops using the Ctrl+Alt+ [ Up / Down ] Arrows 5. Eventually, one of the windows will appear with a hollow cursor and not respond to keyboard input The 'hollow cursor' is evidence that the window has indeed lost focus, as evidenced by this changelog entry: "Hollow out cursor when losing focus." ( Reference: http://konsole.kde.org/changelogfull.php ) Ideally, we would want the correct konsole window to have focus, depending on which desktop we are on. I am not sure if this is a bug with the compiz window manager, or with konsole. ** Also affects: compiz Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483624 Title: konsole lose focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/483624/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
