Bug#730562: e16: Bad focus handling with Java applications
Package: e16
Version: 1.0.0-4
Severity: important
e16 seems to have a bogus focus handling.
It happens (especially in java applications and Java 7 ) that a window
has the focus, but no input cursor is appearing, so typing characters
doesn't do anything. This seems to be a problem with the WM_TAKE_FOCUS
event.
See these bugreports for more information:

attached that shows the problem.
