Description of problem: In recent days a formerly working installation of grace (obtained from a Fedora repository) now rejects keyboard input, although mouse input still works fine. When I open a popup, for example "Grace:read sets", the cursor can be placed in a data entry box, but the keyboard cannot enter letters and numbers. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grace-5.1.22-2.fc10 (i386) How reproducible: Completely reproducible. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open any popup 2.click on data entry window to bring focus there 3.type -- nothing happens Actual results: nothing Expected results: typing should show in window and be accepted by programme Additional info: if I type onto a terminal and then copy and paste into grace, the input is accepted and used correctly
Assigning to the right component.
I am not sure if this is related but now in rawhide grace fails to start at all, it just hangs. Running strace on it gives (strace xmgrace): <stuff deleted> access("/etc/X11/app-defaults/XMgrace", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/X11/en_US.UTF-8/app-defaults/XMgrace", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/X11/en/app-defaults/XMgrace", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XMgrace", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/X11/en_US.UTF-8/app-defaults/XMgrace", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/X11/en/app-defaults/XMgrace", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XMgrace", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) futex(0x7bf360, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted) The ERESTARTSYS is there because I hit ctrl-c eventually. Otherwise it will just sit forever in the futex().
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Comment 2 (not starting at all) has been reported as bug 504413
Testing this with the shortcut described in bug 504413 I can type text in any box in F-11. Does this bug still occurs in F-10?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. 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 prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
