Public bug reported:

I don't know if this is a known bug, and if it is really a bug, but it
can be quite annoying.

It is quite hard to describe it, but this is how to reproduce it (at
least it works like that on my computer).

Open some program where you can type (in this case it works while I am
typing this report) and make sure the SCIM (smart common input method)
is on (which language I think is not important). Right click on the
Workspace switcher --> preferences. The Workspace switcher preferences
menu will now come up. Close it, and you will find yourself back in the
window with the program you were typing in; it will look exactly as the
active window, with the cursor blinking etc. The problem is that nothing
happens if you type: I have first to reselect the window by clicking in
the upper window border (the one with the name of the program), clicking
in the window itself does not work.

This might seem like a futile bug report, but it is quite annoying
because it happens with much more things than the Workspace switcher
preferences menu alone (I am not opening that every 5 minutes...), for
instance, when a new aMSN contact comes online, which can happen more
frequently. When I turn SCIM of, I don't have the problem, but the
problem is that I need SCIM (I don't know with other input methods, I
have never tried another one)
