Bug#781659: konsole: Console cursor loses focus after switching between windows
Package: konsole
Version: 4:4.14.2-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Since upgrading to Jessie, the following problem frequently (every few
minutes
or so, when working normally) appears: after switching between windows
and/or
virtual desktops, when I switch back to a Konsole window, the window has
focus,
but the cursor in the terminal is "hollow" and does not respond to keyboard
input. Only after clicking on the window with the mouse, the cursor
changes back
to filled and responds to keyboard again.
This happens randomly when switching windows, but I can consistently
reproduce
it as follows: press <alt> to activate the menu in a konsole window,
then switch
away and back to the konsole window. Now the menu isn't active anymore,
but the
cursor is hollow and doesn't respond.
This has started happening to me after upgrading to Jessie. I run plain
openbox
as window manager, but the same problem also appears when I use Xfce or
failsafe-xterm. Furthermore, I have also tried crossgrading to amd64, but
reverted this because it didn't work; I do still have some libraries
installed
with both i386 and amd64 versions, including libc6 and libstdc++6 from the
dependencies of konsole.
See also the bugreport here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=270144
that was wrongly reported against Kwin.
Please let me know if there is any other useful information I can provide.
Best,
Jaap
