[Bug 1497837] Re: Xmir apps lose keyboard focus

 

I can see much of the problem in Chromium is tooltips, which like menus
steal focus in Mir but then don't return it when they close. So I think
this is just a matter of mir_proving_server not being wired up to the
new WM logic yet.

Title:
  Xmir apps lose keyboard focus

Status in Mir:
  New
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Xmir apps lose keyboard focus, quite often.

  Test cases:
  gedit: Open a menu and then close it. Can't type in the editor any more.
  chromium-browser: Just use it for a few seconds and you can't type in the address bar any more.

  The problem appears to be a Mir one (mir demo servers) as the last event Xmir is receiving is:
    mir_surface_unfocused
  shown in the log as:
    Focus: unfocused

  So of course no window will receive keyboard input after that.

  Workaround:
  Alt+Tab or Alt+` a few times to regain focus.
