Details

I have three windows open, each with several tabs. They're each on a different virtual desktop (Cinnamon desktop environment on Linux Mint). For some reason one of them stopped getting keypress events, I don't know why but it was working earlier, now if I press something like Ctrl-tab in it to go to the next tab, it switches tabs in one of my other firefox windows instead, like the keypress events are going to the wrong window.

Does this always happen or just occasionally? Some reliable steps to reproduce would be helpful.

Please check that MOZ_USE_XINPUT2 is not set in the environment.
Only once so far. It hasn't happened since the original report.

MOZ_USE_XINPUT2 is unset. This is a normal install of Nightly. I usually launch it by clicking on the button I added to the task bar. There are no special options added to the button.
