Ooh, do you get this box?
That's the one.
I get these all the time from VMWare Horizon Client (err, Omnissa).
I'll be running fine for a while, then it will appear (I _think_ it
happens after I press the Ctrl key, but not the first time, just that
Ctrl is the trigger). I can hit Cancel however many times I want it it
reappears continuously.
Not using VMware (nor any VM) when this happens. If I click Cancel it
goes away. If I click OK it also goes away. It's not entirely clear
what the actual effect is. I'd need to do more testing, but that's one
reason I'd like to know what's producing it.
No VMs involved, Horizon Client is an application to connect to remote
systems. My theory is that there's something going on with misbehaving X
applications.
Other misbehavior I have seen with individual X applications (and where
something like xev would be similarly useful):
- Sometimes pasting stops working in the application
- Sometimes numeric keypad doesn't work (regular numbers work)
- Sometimes Ctrl key stops registering (noticeable in JetBrains IDEs)
In each of the above instances, everything is fine up to some point, and
once _something_ happens, that bit of functionality becomes broken until
I log out and back in again (but only in the affected application(s)
which are all X applications). JetBrains IDEs are the only affected
applications where I can switch to Wayland mode, and once I do that, all
the problems disappear.
Sorry to hijack this thread.
