Ubuntu 8.10 - Can't type on text fields in modal dialogs

Congrats for your great work. I've been testing all the RubyMine 2.0 beta versions and finally I've just bought a license.

There's an issue that is happening in all versions, including the new RC1. I'm running RM on Ubuntu 8.10, using GTK+ as the Look&Feel. Sometimes, when a modal dialog appears, the keyboard seems not focused on the dialog. When I type, the keys go to the background window (the editor, the project view, etc.). There's no way to fill the text fields in the dialog, however I can click on the buttons with the mouse. This behaviour remains for all dialogs until I restart the IDE.

Have you had similar problems?

Hi Francisco,

I've been using RubyMine on Ubuntu for quite a long time and I haven't faced with this particular problem, however I've asked responsible developer to have a look at your problem.

Hi, Oleg

This problem is still happening with the official 2.0 release. I'm also having a similar problem when I'm working with two projects in two different RubyMine windows: sometimes when I switch from one window to the other, pressing Alt+Tab, and I start to write, the keyboard input goes to the previous windows, which is now in the background. No text cursor appears in the foreground window. When I switch again to the first window. I can see the text that I typed.

Also, I upgraded from Ubuntu Hardy to Karmic to see if that fixes the problem, but the behaviour is the same.

Hope it'll help.

Regards,
    Francisco Benavent.

Hi Francisco,

Thanks for reporting this, I can recommend you to tweak Java look and feel of your application in File | Settings | Appearance | Look and Feel
Hope this helps.

Oleg

I've found a way to reproduce the problem with the keyboard focus in two RubyMine windows:

  1. Open two RubyMine projects in two different windows.
  2. Open another app in a third window, for example a Terminal window
  3. When in the first RubyMine window, change pressing Alt+Tab to the Terminal window
  4. Change again pressing Alt+Tab to the second RubyMine window
  5. Now type something: while the active window is the second, keyboard input goes to the first window.


Note that this doesn't happens when you switch directly for one RubyMine window to another; only when you switch to an intermediate window.

Hope you'll be able to reproduce it too.

Thanks,
    Paco.
