  3) howto reproduce the bug

  1. I left my computer for a few minutes with a running Eclipse (or
  Texmaker) with focus. I was just writing so the cursor was blinking
  inside the text area. It is important, that the application has a
  focus. If the focus is on the web browser or the pdf viewer both
  applications (Eclipse and Texmaker) are working fine after the screen
  saver.

  2. I came back, and the screen saver was running. I entered my
  password to free the screen. This bug appears only when the screen get
  locked naturally, not with CTRL + ALT + L.

  3. The application was still running, but the cursor disappeared. I could save my last changes, I could mark text but I couldn't insert new one. (This is valid for Eclipse and Texmaker)
  Even other tabs behave the same, (at least Texmaker, I don't remeber if Eclipse behaves the same)
  [Edit]
  You can't copy the text with CTRL + C anymore, but with the right mouse click
  [/EDIT]

  4. To regain write ability, you need to restart the application

  4) expected behaviour

  That I can write in Eclipse / Texmaker after the screensaver appears

  PS:
  I discovered this bug with two different programms, Eclipse and Texmaker, that is the reason why I believe that this bug is not specific for on these packages. Maybe the screensaver or a lib for displaying the textarea.

  I hope this will help you to find the bug. If you need more
  Information feel free to ask.
