chef_kunal Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 hi I have mozilla 1.3 from with my mdk 9.1. Recnetly i have been having some problems with the keys not working in the browser. ie all the forms i cannot fill in , and cannot type in the sddress bar. very wierd. I can open the <File menu, open web location>, and type over there. I can also use the mouse to get an url from the drop down list. This doent go away until i restart mozilla. Has anybody have the same problem or heard of his? Any solution? Regards Kunal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RedBear Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 I have had this same problem, with multiple versions of Mozilla from back before 1.0 on up to 1.3, and on multiple platforms (Win, Linux, even Macs). I assume it's got something to do with the XUL cross-platform interface, since the problem is so consistent on every platform. I can usually cure it by minimizing Mozilla a few times and/or switching between Mozilla and some other application that accepts keyboard input. That seems to refocus the input from the keyboard. This doesn't always work, and sometimes I have to restart Mozilla, and sometimes even restarting Mozilla doesn't fix it, and I have to restart 2 or 3 times. The big thing just seems to be getting the keyboard input to focus somewhere else, then switching back to Mozilla, but I wish there where a better fix for this problem. It's almost a show-stopper and makes Open Source look like crap every time it happens. It's such a high-visibility bug that I keep being surprised it hasn't been fixed yet with every new version.

bvc Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Always been a prob for me in galeon and what fixes it in galeon all the time doesn't always work in moz, but I either rt-click in the field I need to type then clck-off the menu on the browser window, or, since I use tabs, click on another and, then back on the one I need to tye in. It's very annoying and one of the main reason I try very hard not to use or even install moz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peo Posted May 10, 2003 Report Share Posted May 10, 2003 Had the same problem on two different PCs with MDK 9.1. I downloaded the 1.3 from mozilla.org and everything works fine. I recently switched to Firebird/Phoenix and works great. There are MDK 9.1 rpms from Texstar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
