From: Deryl Steinert <dus@ornl.gov> To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Re: text fields in app don't allow input when running Cygwin X Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:02:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <1371132147781-99552.post@n5.nabble.com> (raw) In-Reply-To: <1366210255.40306.YahooMailNeo@web122602.mail.ne1.yahoo.com> I am seeing this same issue with running a Java 7 app through the Cygwin xserver in multiwindowed mode (startxwin). Once a Java window loses keyboard focus I can't get it to regain focus for keyboard events. Basically all keyboard input to a window must be completed without the window losing focus or the window will appear to hang. At least my users are seeing it as a hang even though the app is still responsive to other interaction (buttons, menus, etc). Just not keyboard input. New Java windows that are opened do have keyboard input focus until that window loses focus. As KM states it all works fine when running the Cygwin xserver in windowed mode (startx rather than startxwin). A possible explanation is that the Focus model has changed in Java 7. See section "2.7.2 Communication With Native Focus System" from the following link; http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/tsg/TSG-Desktop/html/awt.html So, is this a bug in Cygwin, Java 7 or our apps?
