Loss of keyboard example

Hi All,

I am using Lotus Word Pro N9.8.0208.1200.

Occasionally when I am wring in a Word Pro document, I loose my keyboard.  All
the pounding on my keyboard does nothing.  The good news it that this time, I
can reproduce it.  Ono the attached document, mouse to the bottom, then press
return a bunch of times to add more lines.

I would appreciate if you would fix this on quickly.  It is driving me nuts
(and back to my XP VM!)

Many thanks,
-T

a trace will follow shortly.

Does it work in earlier versions of Wine?

My memory is a bit fuzzy, but it did not work under .30 for sure.  I think I
was having the problem under .29, but I am not sure.  Prior to that it did
work, but I am not sure what version it pooped out on.

Are you able to find anything in the trace?

No, nothing obvious in trace.  It's better to start off with just the ordinary
terminal output unless requested.  If you can find out which version it was
working in then that would be good place to start a regression test from

Sorry.  That would be pretty much impossible.  Hopefully, you can reproduce it
or find something on the trace.

Using wordpro N98.0.2815.0, installed as part of the Smartsuite millenium
edition.

I cannot reproduce with your test file: Open the file, click with the mouse in
the last line and press the return key until enough lines are added to add
several new pages.

What I do notice here is that changing the focus to another window and then
clicking on the wordpro window does not capture the keyboard. I have to Alt-tab
back to wordpro to be able to type something.

So:

can you with playing alt-tab get the keyboard back?
do the graphic options "virtual desktop" or "allow window manager to control
windows" make any difference?

I use ice window manager with the gnome.

> can you with playing alt-tab get the keyboard back?

Hi Rein,

I am running Xfce 4.4.2 (no 4.6 as there are no RPM's).

When I opened up the document to double check the symptom before trying
alt-tab, I tested the doc by clicking at the bottom of the document, checked
that the cursor was flashing at the bottom, and hit "enter" several times.  Up
came three Thunderbird messages.  Hmmm.  So I X'ed out the messages and tried
again, up came more Thunderbird messages.   Hmmmm X2.  So I killed Thunderbird
and tried again, this time typing "aaaaaaaa".  Nothing appeared in my document,
But "hey!" my Google search bar in Firefox now had a bunch of a's in it.

Okay, so now to try the alt-tab.  But first, I noticed that even though the
mouse works on everything in my test documents, the title bar is still gray. 
So one mouse click on the tool bar, which then turns blue, and I can type in my
document.  No need for alt-tab: just click on the title bar.

Okay again.  Some more tests.  I am able to duplicate the problem in Lotus 123
(same version).  But not Lotus Approach (same version) and not Note Pad Plus.
Double checking in Virtual Box XP, symptoms can not be duplicated anywhere.

So, the problem restricted to Word Pro and 123.  Both will accept mouse
commands (positioning, menus, etc.) but will not accept keyboard input as the
program itself stays out of focus, even when accepting mouse commands.

Would you please fix this for me?

Many thanks,
-T

Well, I am not 100% sure that I see the same problem as yours. But this is the
patch where I get trouble setting the keyboard focus back to wordpro:

Indeed.

Tod, try the registry trick in that bug report.

Not finding a key called "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver]"
(I changed "softwares" to "software").  Should I create one?

Yes.

This key would have been created automatically if you had actually tried
changing the graphic options "virtual desktop" or "allow window manager to
control windows" in winecfg as I asked before. Try them, those options are
there for a purpose: not playing nice with your window manager of choice.

Hi Rein,

Okay, that is what you meant.  I thought you were speaking of gnome controls
and I am running Xfce.  Sorry for the mix up.

"allow window manager to control windows" is the current setting.

I will try "virtual desktop" and see what happens.  No symptom change. Also,
the "X11 Driver" was *not* created.  Shutting "virtual desktop" back off.

I will create the registry value and see what happens.  
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver]  (note: dropped the "s" in
"software"
String: "UseTakeFocus"
Value: N

And, that did the trick.

So, do these test make this bug a duplicate of bug 19874?

You are doing something wrong. Do you use regedit to look at the registry or a
text editor?

Loosing the focus spontaneously as you described is unique to this problem of
yours. I cannot reproduce it with Wordpro. This may well be related to your
window/desktop manager.

I was in regedit the whole time.  Maybe I forgot to  refresh, but it did not
complain that the keys was already there when I when to manually create the
keys.

Both Word Pro and 123.  Does the registry hack give any clues?  Any other
traces or tests I can do?

Hi Wylda,

This has worked fine ever since I enter the following registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver]  (note: dropped the "s" in
"software"
String: "UseTakeFocus"
Value: N

Do you want me to uninstall it and see how it works?

p.s. love the new fonts!

I just wanted you to retest your application. Letting others know about work
around is good, but buzilla is for fixing not about work arounding.

So remove the work around and test please, if fixed. So we know, that
workaround is not needed anymore and this could be closed.

I renamed [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver] "UseTakeFocus" and
the problem came right back.  No symptom change under 1.2rc2.  :'(

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 650
days. Is this still an issue in current (1.4 or newer) wine?

Hi Austin,
