Build Identifier: M20100909-0800 Trying to edit java code in edit area, when mouse cursor moves over a class name or other symbols to show up the inline annotations or java doc box or bring up autocompletion box, after that, the keyboard will become unresponsive almost all the time, except for those keys like ctrl,alt,caps. Switch app windows/tabs can reactivate keyboard input. Linux:Debian Squeeze GTK: 2.20.1 JRE: 1.6.0_20 Note that, in Ubuntu 10.04 I found the same problem ,with the same version of eclipse and JRE. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Move cursor to a java class name or other symbol names in edit area to show up annotation box or javadoc box, or bring up autocompletion box 2. click elsewhere in edit area to dismiss those boxes. 3. Keyboard will become unresponsive

Sorry to forget to mention that click somewhere that's not in the editor doesn't cause keyboard to become unresponsive. And it's been a long time since I used eclipse first time, so I don't know how to collect the relative logs. If you need it, please tell me which files you want to attach here. Thanks.

But the keyboard is only not responsive in the editor area? Is it still working in other parts of the workbench? If not, is it working outside? How do you get out of this state? Close the editor? Please attach the .log and make some stack traces. For details see http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/platform-text/development/bug-incomplete.htm.

Okay....Today, when I quit eclipse and tried to bring up eclipse from the gnome-terminal directly, I found keyboard input became unresponsive as well. Mouse is working, and alt-tap to switch windows makes keyboard back to normal. I guess this isn't Eclipse bug alone, I'm suspecting gtk (it's weird I've never encountered with this problem with other apps, only eclipse, and now, gnome-terminal... I'll close this bug? '
>I'll close this bug? Yep, let's close it for now. Please reopen if you think it's Eclipse and you have more data.

Close it as I found it in another app.
Maybe you accidentally enabled X-mouse behavior (focus follows mouse).
(In reply to comment #8) > Maybe you accidentally enabled X-mouse behavior (focus follows mouse). No, I don't enable that. I currently have no idea except trying to build gtk from latest source. Thank you anyway.
Well, I finally managed to fix this problem. The cause of it is scim, for which I use xim protocol as the front-end. After setting the default input method (~/.xinput.d/en_US) to scim-bridge or just scim, this problem disappeared. I'm hoping this could provide some help to other people who have similar problems. Thanks!
