kile does not get keyboard input, respond to Alt+F

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 4558 / 2 Years ago, tue, october 4, 2022, 2:01:44

I use 11.10 with gnome 3 and Unity. In either case, I use two KDE apps a lot - kile and kate. Since the latest upgrade, I have observed a few problems:

a] I can never use Alt+F to select the file menu (works with other apps), yet when I press Alt, kile's menu comes up in the status bar.

b] A few times every day, while using kile (haven't used kate as much recently), the keyboard stops responding (just in the 'editor' portion, rather than in structure-tree navigation). I cannot enter any text, but mouse works fine. I usually restart kile to continue working.

One inconsistent way to reproduce it (multiple times today):

I cut text from one open document using Ctrl+X

switched to another document in the same kile window using Ctrl+Tab, then this happened.

c] Sometimes, in kate, I can type in the editor but the keyboard won't work in the File open dialog.

How do I fix the above?

Sorry, not an answer. Just something to confirm similar issues with Kile. However, mine is through KDE for Windows. Some .tex files won't let me edited them in the editor using the keyboard. Can't copy paste either, but I can move the cursor around and scroll through the .tex file. I filed a bug on KDE's website here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292766

Again, not an answer, but now I am experiencing similar problems with the keyboard input after upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04. This is really frustrating as documents (.tex files) that worked fine before no longer allow me to type in them. I can select and scroll with the mouse but no typing!!!! Funny thing too is that it only happens for a few documents.
