 Posted: Fri May 04, 2007 2:55 am Post subject: Incorrect and permanent loss of keyboard focus |
 |
|
I have a small sample problem that replicates my problem. The program
creates a window with a text field that has keyboard focus.
The window has a menu item that I use to create another window of that
type that correctly gets the keyboard focus.
I then click on the old window, bring it to front. It does not get the
keyboard focus like it should in Linux. It will work correctly in windows.
I tried adding the call requestFocusInWindow which did not help and led
to unpredictable behavior. The problem seems to be that I am in the
situation where the call
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager
().getPermanentFocusOwner()
is returning the expected Component. The problem is that the KeyListener
class that is registered with the Component is not being called when a
key is being pressed.
The issue is that I have a component that has the keyboard focus, but the
KeyListener class
is not responding.
This seems to be a linux only problem which makes it only more mysterious.

I tried your program and I'm not seeing the problem you describe
although I have seen it with one of my own programs. You can see mine at:
http://www.knutejohnson.com/chat.html
Press the 'Connect' button and a JOptionPane input dialog is opened.
When closed the focus never returns to the JTextField where it belongs
even with a call to requestFocus(). It does however return if you
minimize the browser window and then maximise it. Just for my
curiosity, try minimizing your program window and then maximize it to
see if the focus goes where it belongs.
I'm not sure why your program doesn't fail for me but I was not able to
make a test program that failed at all. I thought it might be Applet
related but apparently it isn't.
There is something fishy in Linux I think.
