Bug 669481

still not working in rawhide/fedora 15. Clone to track in rawhide
---
gnome-shell-2.91.5-2.fc15.x86_64.rpm

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #603576 +++

Description of problem:
Can not type anything in gnome-shell

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-2.31.2-2.fc14.i686
gtk2-2.21.2-1.fc14.i686
gtk3-2.90.2-2.fc14.i686
ibus-1.3.5-1.fc14.i686

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. im-chooser to enable ibus
2. move cursor to left top corner
3. type something in the find entry
  
Actual results:
Can not type anything

Expected results:


Additional info:
For some reason, ibus have to processes keypress events in async mode. So gtk_im_context_filter_keypress always returns FALSE. and if ibus need ignore some keyevents, ibus im context will use gdk_event_put to forward the event back to the client window (the window is from gtk_im_context_set_client_window).

BTW, I am thinking if gtk could provide a better way for processing key events in async mode.

I can confirm this, I see this too in rawhide. Keyboard input does not work in the overview or alt-f2. Alt-arrow workspace switching still works.

I read code of gnome-shell and found the client window is from
gdk_window_foreign_new_for_display, and gnome-shell use clutter to handle events.
It seems the clutter does not process events in gdk event queue, and gnome-shell will never get the events sent by gdk_event_put.

When will this bug be fixed? It cause great inconvenient to using gnome-shell.
