weird keyboard input problem

reikyv · 10-29-2007, 03:25 AM

I am not sure anyone here had this experience or not.
When I am typing something, and then open certain application (e.g. bookmark organizer in firefox, openoffice -> tables, etc), then suddenly I can't input anything from my keyboard. And I have to quit the application and start it again. Is it a memory problem? or it might be other cause?

I had this problem recently after installing scim. I turned it off and the problem went away. I have not pursued it further, so I don't know why it was happening.

Hi BCarey,

Thanks for your reply.
ic... I also have this SCIM installed in my machine. And I tried to search for all the possible logs (e.g. xorg log, messages, etc) but still had no clue what's going on.
Anyway, I will google more and see...

reikyv,

If you do turn up something please post it back here, because I'd love to turn it back on again but I can't afford that problem.

Thanks,
Brian

Hi BCarey,

Sure, no problem. Ya, it's quite annoying when you are working on something but the keyboard doesn't work, and force you to restart the application.... :-(
