Bug#440495: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: Keyboard steal after stopping touchpad
Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 0.14.7~git20070517-2
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hardware: Compaq Presario F500
Reproducible: very often
Steps to reproduce:
1. Turn touchpad off below keyboard
2. Turn it on again
3. Repeat 1-2 if needed (usually not needed)
Effects:
1. KDE help manager pops up on the screen. It steals focus, i.e. after
clicking on any desktop, any other application it shows up on the top of
the screen. Then nothing else can be done, but hopefully touchpad works
and allows selecting KDE menu position to log off and on, when the bug
disappears. It is hard, but possible to save unsaved work - by clicking
on one's application very often and pressing save keys (in order to
trigger the action before KDE help message gets focus again).
In logs I could find only something like this:
Synaptics DeviceOff called
Synaptics DeviceOn called
Synaptics DeviceOff called
SetClientVersion: 0 9
SetGrabKeysState - disabled
Synaptics DeviceOn called
Synaptics DeviceOff called

Once ago I think I saw some callstack of crashing something related to
synaptics, but I can't find it anymore.
