This has been my problem for almost one year, and this is the first time I post message about it. Mozilla sometimes begin to ignore all keyboard input after swiched from another task, say, gedit or terminal. It ignores keystrokes at all, say Ctrl+W and Ctrl+Q all ignored, restart mozilla works. When this happen, all mozilla apps (mail/addressbook etc) does not accept input. Mouse click is okay. This happens more frequently when you turned XIM server (Chinese input server in my case) on, but it happens as well even if you don't have XIM server running. At first I was using FreeBSD 4.8/mozilla 1.2 (I don't remember clear) on my Thinkpad R30 notebook, this problem exists. Later I have FreeBSD 4.9/mozilla 1.4 I still have the problems. In this way I thought it can be a frequent/well known problem, so I just use epiphany and hope it will be corrected next version. Now I'm using FreeBSD 5.1/mozilla 1.5 on my Thinkpad T40, I still have the problems. Sometimes I need to save/restart mozilla mail several times to finish a email. Today I think I had it enough so I write this message, trying to figure out what went wrong. I compile mozilla from the ports, with gtk2. Do anyone have the same problem? Do you think I should report this as a bug to mozilla.org? What should I try to do to workaround the problem? And, I wish I can try 1.6, only I don't know when will 1.6 port come out. This problem has annoyed me so much. If you can give me a hint or just bring me to the webpage I should visite I'll be very graceful. Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ 享用世界上最大的电子邮件系统— MSN Hotmail。 http://www.hotmail.com
