Cannot type in input text field #11133

Open rpoteau opened 3 months ago

rpoteau commented 3 months ago

JabRef version

5.13 (latest release)

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

Opensuse Tumbleweed 20240329

Checked with the latest development build (copy version output from About dialog)

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Hi

First, thanks for this very useful utility!

I have had the same issue since OpenSuse Tumbleweed upgraded to Plasma 6. Version details are given at the end of the message Input fields seem inactive when I use the keyboard. For example, although the cursor of the search field blinks, no character is written, and keyboard shortcuts do not work. I can however paste the content of the clipboard with the Edit > Paste menu. And all available menu items work when selected with the mouse. Input fields ikn old or new entries cannot be modified either. It seems that the transfer of information from the keyboard is broken. I have no problem of this kind with other programs (thunderbird, kate, jedit, gedit, vim, libreoffice...)

And moving today to JabRef 5.13 did not change anything. Same issue with the 5.14.5-1 development version

Thank for your help and for your time Romuald

Must be something lacking or interfering in my system :-( Any hint of what I should look at ? Best Romuald

Can you share a screenshot of your keyboard configuration? Maybe there is an option to change the IME?

Hmm, on fedora 39 with JabRef 5.14--2024-04-02--bb5ef81 Linux 6.7.11-200.fc39.x86_64 amd64 Java 21.0.2 JavaFX 22+30

I face the issue (not sure whether it is the same), that I cannot activate a field to accept text if I do not click at the right spot.

I illustrate this here with trying to activate the keyword field to accept input, and it only gets activated once I am sufficiently at the top of the field with my mouse clicks.

@ilippert Your issue is discussed at https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/11177#issuecomment-2048202218.

The Gdk-WARNING might be related (together with the plasma 6 upgrade), but for information this warning also happens under KDE plasma 5 (openSUSE Leap 15.5) and JabRef-5.13, where the entries work fine (once clicked at the top to get focus, as explained in https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/11177#issuecomment-2048080356):
