227831 - Keyboard locks up if I change keyboard layout in KDE.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Toomas Velka]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; et-EE; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031016
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; et-EE; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031016

If i change keyboard layout, i cant modify any more the navigation bar and text
input fields in html pages. I can get the keyboard to work again if I:
1) Switch back to previous keyboard layout
2) Minimize/Maximize the browser window. 
For example, i use simultaniously keyboard layouts et_EE and us_EN. If I change
keyboard layout with Ctrl+Alt+K (Under KDE), the keyboard will be locked up. If
I change it back in the same way, i can enter the text again. If i
minimize/maximze the browser window, i can also enter the text but after i
change again the layout, i cant any edit the fields.  

Some notes: 
1) Keyboard will locked in all browser windows.
2) To unlock, i have to minimize/maximze each browser window separately. 
3) This may be related with bug #216436
4) Page refresh has no effect
5) Resizing of browser window has no effect
6) It seems, that the setxkmap works correctly but i'm not sure.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open browser and set navigation bar into focus
2. Switch keyboard layout
3. Try to change the URL in navigation bar

Actual Results:  
You can't change the text

Expected Results:  
Keyboard layout shuld be changed

I added ir keyboard layout.  I could not get KDE to switch KDE keyboard layout
via the keyboard shortcut but when I clicked KDE Keyboard tool(Sys tray) it
worked fine.
