Description Kjartan Maraas 2008-01-31 13:40:21 UTC
Description of problem:

When I use alt-tab to switch to another app from emacs my whole desktop hangs. I
have to go to the console and kill emacs to get my desktop back. I think this is
related to my personal account so it would be nice to get some information on
what files in $HOME affects emacs' behaviour.

Comment 2 Robin Norwood 2008-02-08 19:34:21 UTC
I get the same thing, even after moving aside my .emacs file.

This is with emacs-22.1.50-3.fc9.i386

Updating priority and severity, since this makes emacs completely unusable for
me in rawhide.

Comment 3 Kjartan Maraas 2008-02-10 23:55:16 UTC
This resolved itself for me now. I can't reproduce this with current rawhide.
Robin, do you see the same?

Comment 4 Robin Norwood 2008-02-11 18:01:46 UTC
No, I still have the same problem.  It may not be directly emacs-related either,
because downgrading to F-8's emacs doesn't fix it either.

Comment 5 Kjartan Maraas 2008-02-11 21:16:44 UTC
it got fixed in a recent rawhide update for me. not sure what fixed it though :-/

I think this might be related to bug #224611.

The easy way to find out is to turn off atk:

System->Preferences->Personal->Assitive Technology Preferences

make sure it's turned off.

Yeah, it only happens when a11y is activated. Shouldn't this be a blocker for f9?
