same here

Ubuntu 14.04 firefox 32.0+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 Vimperator 3.8.2

maxauthority commented 10 years ago

Ok all three are Ubutuntu users, so I guess it might have to do with the Unity window manager? I just tried that on my Fedora box with default gnome 3 and vimperator keeps working just fine.

confirmed.

regardless of Ubuntu-Unity as i'm using Kubuntu-KDE. Also persisting within Vimperator-3.8.3

Kubuntu: 14.04.1 x64

Firefox: 34.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1

Vimperator: 3.8.3

maxauthority commented 9 years ago

Can anyone here with the problem test it with gnome 3 desktop/window manager?

I'm experiencing the same issue on FF35.0 under ubuntu 12.04 w/ unity

gkatsev commented 9 years ago

I've seen this issue occur on several platforms. Another work around seems to be a right click. No need to select anything from the menu. Seems to somehow kick vimperator back into gear.

pelegm commented 9 years ago

Confirming the bug here.

MaikoID commented 9 years ago

Hey guys since the last Firefox update it's almost unusable with the vimperator plugin because every time I need to right click in anywhere on the page to get the vimperator back to work.

Sure way to kill it is opening google.com, right-click fixes it await

I just hit this problem today, using:

I've been using Ubuntu 14.04 with vimperator for a long time, so I don't understand why some people started hitting this bug over a year ago, and today was the first day I ran into it.

Right-click-and-Esc fixes the problem for me, and is on its way to my muscle memory.

To be clear, to reproduce this problem 100% of the time all I do is:

Once back in Firefox:

But if I right-click-and-Esc, all of the those commands start working again.

Yurlungur commented 8 years ago

I've hit this problem as well, although my experience is somewhat inconsistent. I am using:

When I switch to another window and then back to firefox, vimperator sometimes stops accepting any input at all. No vimperator hotkeys work. However I can still interact with the webpage via mouse so I know Firefox is not frozen.

Just like everyone else, right-clicking anywhere in the page makes vimperator work again.

gkatsev commented 8 years ago

Yeah, it's a very bizarre issue.

atillamas commented 8 years ago

Have somewhat of the same issue:

Aga303 commented 8 years ago

I'm seeing the same behaviour. Right-clicking solves the problem, but has to be done every time.

timss commented 8 years ago

One has to wonder if this is even an issue Vimperator can fix, seeing as the common theme here is certain window managers having the issue. I've also experienced it, but only on Unity (12.10).

Yurlungur commented 8 years ago

@timss I wonder if it's something we as users can work around in our own configrations? There are several issues like this for tiling windows managers. The Java GUI, for example, often freezes unless certain environmental variables are set.

I can't imagine what we would need to change though.

kuremu commented 8 years ago

This bug pops up for me every now and then (not every time I switch windows). Right-clicking and opening "View Page Info" or another window-spawning command returns control. I've noticed it for a long time, but at the moment:

kuremu commented 8 years ago

If it helps anyone else I wrote this amusing xdotool routine to click "View Page Info".

id=$(xdotool getactivewindow) # id of the active window
xdotool mousemove --window $id --sync --polar 0 0 # move to the centre
xdotool click --window $id 3 # right click
sleep 0.3 # give it some time
xdotool mousemove_relative --sync 50 350 # move to View Page Info, experiment with the x y values to get it right
sleep 0.3 # give it more time
xdotool click 1 # click

It doesn't work if the initial mousemove lands on an image, media player etc.

timss commented 8 years ago

@kuremu Interesting, thanks for sharing. Another possible trigger seems to be to open/close the menubar, e.g. by using <A-t> (L-Alt + t) and closing it using <Esc>.

Unfortunately I don't think anyone has had any success in tracking down the reason for this bug yet. Contributions or any help very much welcome as always :+1:

Confirmed Ubuntu 15.10 Vimperator: 3.14.0 (created: 2016/06/07 23:58:16) Firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0

kuremu commented 8 years ago

@timss much simpler, thanks!

JDurston commented 8 years ago

I cannot replicate this issue with the following system:

Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS 64-bit; Compiz WM Vimperator: 3.15.0 (created: 2016/10/05 01:11:26) Firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0

jstetten commented 8 years ago

I continue to replicate it under all combinations of Windows and Firefox, and have been for a very long time. This has been the longest-standing Vimperator bug I'm aware of.

(I imagine it probably scares/frustrates plenty of new users when Vimperator becomes unresponsive, all GUI elements are hidden, and they believe their only option is to restart or uninstall completely.)

timss commented 8 years ago

There has been similar issues in Firefox without Vimperator as well, so I'm not sure it's even Vimperator's "fault" as much as it can be a possible trigger.

Take for example https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=228646 (later comments are more relevant)

jstetten commented 8 years ago

Thanks @timss, you're totally right. Windows 7 complaint here, with even more desperate workarounds.

If this goes back to Firefox 3.5, across platforms, I'm not sure it will ever be fixed. Then again, I just took a look at the e10s thread and apparently there are much bigger things to worry about than this. :(

make-github-pseudonymous-again commented 7 years ago

Happens every once in a while running i3-wm on arch. Does not seem to be related to window change of focus.

knezi commented 7 years ago

@aureooms confirmed. it occurs every now and then on Arch i3-wm. I can't say what you need to do to trigger the bug.

menzel commented 7 years ago

Same here on Arch i3-wm on FF Version 51.0.1 (64-bit) tab-switching with <C-p/n> stops working
