Please try to find the steps so that we can see the problem.

I don't know if what I have is the same as the reporter, but I'm running GTK2
and 1.3 (alpha or beta) locks for me.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile with GTK2
2. open a webpage big enough to display a scrollbar
3. press an arrow key (to scroll)

it locks.  It doesn't even update the X canvas anymore, and neither does it
print anything on stdout that could help tracing the problem.

sorry about the duplicate comment, must have been some form auto-filling stuff I
didn't notice.

update: I just installed 1.3 final and this still happens.

Also, different from the reporter, I'm running Linux, not FreeBSD.  I dare say
this problem is not specific to OS, but to GTK2.

I wouldn't dare give this a severity of critical, what with GTK2 support being
in development, but it's a blocker *for me* - it makes me unable to use Mozilla
(and anything gecko-based) at all.  Please, if you can't reproduce this, contact me.

I install mozilla-snapshot in Linux Debian Unstable (SID). 
I'm spanish and i install locales-es Euro support. 
It works fine in console... But in Gnome session (GTK2), xterm not use "es"
keyboard and mozilla crashes after touch any kb-button. The same to galeon.

I have the same problem with Mozilla 1.6, epiphany and Galeon on FreeBSD
4.8-RELEASE #4, all built from the FreeBSD ports. As soon as I press a key (any
key) after these apps start, they lock, forcing me to restart them. After
restarting any of them four to six times, it works like a charm. It does not
matter what part of the window has the focus... This bug is _always_
reproducible, at least in this specific computer (the one I am writing this on)...

[Aaron Leventhal]

This appears to be a problem with GTK2.

Is it related to Spanish support? I'm not sure I understand Comment 6.

Comment 9

[Christopher Blizzard (:blizzard)]

Some other app hogging the sound card?

Comment 10

[Aaron Leventhal]

Reporter: so the mouse still works? You can click on the scroll bars to scroll?
It's only the keyboard that stops working?

I haven't seen this in months, seems to have been fixed.
