Description Joseph Monti 2003-04-01 14:23:51 UTC 
When you open more than one tab and click focus to the tab label you cannot
click focus back to the console, you can only switch between tabs. You can
switch to the console with the tab key (or arrows to select next tab or
creating a new tab or closing a tab), but if you don't know this it can be
frustrating -- you think its broken.

This bug popped up during the Mandrake 9.1 beta process. See
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1948 . It seems that you
need to upgrade your vte.
Comment 2 Joseph Monti 2003-04-01 14:54:54 UTC 
Yes. That is what was causing the problem. I was using vte-0.10.17 and
just upgraded to vte-0.10.25 which fixed the bug.

Thanks!

Sorry about that.
