Description J. Baute 2008-04-07 20:06:13 UTC 
When trying to enter a folder or file name in any folder window the popup input box locks after it accepts the first character entered. No other characters appear in the input box.
This happens in all windows where you can enter text to search for files, or determine the file extension for saving for example.


How to simulate:

- Start GIMP
- Select File > Open
- Start typing the first letter of a file/folder
-> BUG: only one character is accepted in the floating box.
   The window doesn't seem to respond properly to mouse events either when this happens.
   To get out pressing ESC a few times seems to do the trick.


This bug doesn't occur in 2.4.4.
Comment 1 Federico Mena Quintero 2008-04-08 00:45:03 UTC 
When this happens, can you please do the following:

1. pidof gimp
2. Write down that number
3. gdb
4. attach <number>
5. thread apply all bt

and paste the output?

It looks as if we had a stuck mouse grab.
Comment 2 J. Baute 2008-04-08 20:42:56 UTC 
Is there a way to do this on Windows as well?
Comment 3 Cody Russell 2008-04-10 21:14:47 UTC 
This is a Windows only issue that was introduced in 2.12.8 I think.
