when xfce-mcs-manager is running, and I have multiple empty tabs open in firefox
I cannot close them pressing ctrl-W repeatedly. It closes one tab, then to have effect on the next I have to click in that window first othwrise the ctrl-W is ignored. If I stop xfce-mcs-manager multiple ctrl-W-s work in firefox. I have seen other such issues with firefox but are harder to reproduce. The URL bar would not sense the keys I press unless switch away then back to the window using alt-tab.

It appears if any of mouse, keyboard, ui plugins are in mcs_settings. Strating with an empty mcs_settings dir or with session and print, exo etc plugins in it it behaves correctly. So it may be a xfce-mcs-plugins issue.


Reproducible: Always

Uhm, dunno.

Sounds like you have ctrl+w bound to some action.
Comment 3 Jani Monoses 2006-06-06 17:37:09 CEST
I use the default shortcuts w/o modification. It's as if after one working Ctrl-W firefox loses focus and I have to click on it to sense the next Ctrl-W.

Works for me here, with Ubuntu Dapper.

ok, that's good to hear. There were no other reports from xubuntu users so I hope it's some misconfiguration on my part (even if I don't see what it is)

I'm unable to reproduce this, Jani. I'd guess this issue is resolved somehow?

no, this went away after a while and I forgot to report back, so it can be closed, thanks. I still do not know what caused it though.
