[Ohrrpgce] [ohrrpgce:bugs] #2005 Random keyboard freeze sometimes with key stuck, more likely after spawning an external program

[TeeEmCee]

Excellent!

This is one of those thankfully rare occasions when I wrote a long reply by SF asked me to re-sign-in and the message was lost even when hitting 'back'.

But basically I think the annoying requirement to call io_enable_textinput could be fixed at the same time as this bug (by patching SDL). No idea whether SDL 1.2 is ever even going to have more bugfix updates.

Workarounds include an option to disable IME text input altogether for anyone affected by the bug, but I wonder about discoverability of the setting. We could also disable textinput on certain conditions so that you can at least quit and save, such as if there's no keyboard input for several seconds or, so some raw X11 calls indicate the bug is happening

(opening a dup bug for this. If/when we recover our old bugzilla bugs, this can be merged with that bug)

Today I had this bug happen to me 3 times on Linux. Once when spawning ohrrpgce-game for "Test Game" and twice more when compiling scripts by pressing F5

The third time, I was running strace. Here is the end of the strace output. I don't know if it is useful information or not
