Description N. Jackson 2013-11-23 02:09:26 UTC
Description of problem:
After resuming from suspend and after logging in, keyboard input is ignored until a mouse button has been clicked.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 19 (Kernel 3.11.8-200.fc19.x86_64 currently, but problem has persisted for several months through many updates to Fedora 19.)

How reproducible:
After waking computer from suspend and logging in, try to use keyboard.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Wake computer from suspend and login.
2. Try to use the keyboard, e.g. type Alt-Tab to switch applications.
3. Click a mouse button anywhere.

Actual results:
Before clicking a mouse button, nothing happens in response to keyboard input. After clicking a mouse button, keyboard works normally.

Expected results:
I expect the keyboard to work after logging in. I don't expect to have to use the mouse ever.

Additional info:
Probably obvious, but the keyboard works fine when I hit Esc to get rid of the absurd mobile-phone-style swipe screen before logging in, and it works fine to type in my password followed by Enter on the log in screen; it seems to get disabled after that.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 20:40:21 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 N. Jackson 2015-01-12 13:23:08 UTC
The bug is also present in Fedora 21 (kernel 3.17.8-300.fc21.x86_64).

Comment 4 N. Jackson 2015-11-05 13:20:28 UTC
My original bug report was not entirely accurate, I realise now.

Throughout the report, when I wrote about "logging in", properly I should have written "entered my password on the lock screen" -- I am of course already logged in when I resume from suspend.

So, instead of,

> Description of problem:
> After resuming from suspend and after logging in, keyboard input is ignored
> until a mouse button has been clicked.

I should have written,

Description of problem:
After resuming from suspend and after entering password on lock screen, keyboard input is ignored until a mouse button has been clicked.

This problem persists on Fedora 21, kernel 4.1.10-100.fc21.x86_64, GNOME version 3.14.2.

I will not be able to test on Fedora 23 until late December. I would appreciate it if you could leave the bug open until then. Or simply fix it; that would be much better!

Thank you and best regards,
N.

Comment 5 N. Jackson 2015-11-12 12:50:31 UTC
I have upgraded from Fedora 21 to Fedora 23 and the bug persists.

Additional information: The problem only manifests if the duration of the suspend is "sufficiently" long. It always occurs after an overnight suspend, and a shorter suspend of length on the order of an hour is also long enough. But a suspend and immediate resume doesn't trigger it, nor does a suspend long enough to move my work location from one lab to another.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 12:43:22 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
