Description Piekenbrock Thomas 2000-10-06 01:26:41 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package: kde
Version: 1.94 prerelease

1.
I am working with SuSE Linux 6.4 on an IBM 570E laptop PC.
When I change quickly between application including kde
system applications frequently all keyboard inputs become
blocked so that the only way to continue working is by
shutting down the PC. Particularly when switching from a
window with a busy working application to another one by
use of [alt][tab] this behaviour is observed. The mouse
pointer still moves but mouse buttons do not work either.
This problem did not occur in the prior official release
of KDE.

2.
The main reason for using LINUX is to avoid the many restarts
due to system errors in WIN9x. But LINUX also needs to be
shutdown by power button when the memomry is full and key
input does not work any longer. A workaround should be available
to kill the trouble causing process from keyboard instead shutting
down the computer.

Can not duplicate this one.

Comment 2 Piekenbrock Thomas 2001-03-13 07:00:02 UTC

Problem disappeared at 2.0.1 release.
In 2.1.0 the system got occasionally hooked up
when clicking on a busy window but I need to
investigate this more thoroughly.

I'm not sure you wanted to communicate this with me! :-)
I would like to help but am currently busy doing other cool stuff for Kde 
and linux in general.
Perhaps one of the intended recipients is not receiving this correspondence
and you guys might think this person is ignoring you. ;-))

just over the last day or two I have received 17-18 messages 
with Subject ".. Bug# xxxx ... " 

best regards.
