>Description:
Running as a normal user and using the fluxbox wm, with mozilla firebird and/or sylpheed and/or xterm, all keyboard input suddenly becomes ignored, and I need to exit fluxbox ( using the mouse ) and run startx again.
This problem most often occurs with mozilla firebird while the cursor is in a text box feild ( eg, while posting to a forum ).
I am not 100% sure, but I think I recall leaving the PC after the problem occured, coming back hours later, and keyboard input was accepted again.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use fluxbox and mozilla firebird frequently, particuarly on webpages with fields to fill out ( eg, forums, webmail, etc )
>Fix:
Unknown
