GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 712718
Keyboard input doesn't work in any text field since upgrading to Mac OS X 10.9
Last modified: 2013-11-20 09:39:39 UTC
Overview: Keyboard input doesn't work at all when trying to type text into a text field, nothing is printed, but instead keyboard shortcuts perform in background windows rather than the focused window. Steps to Reproduce: Open a graphics file, go to Image > Canvas Size... In either the Height or Width fields, select and type "1". (there are many other examples) Actual Results: The "1" digit doesn't print, but instead the image in the other window zooms to 100%. Any other digit acts similarly. Also occurs in the Save Image... dialog window. I can't rename a file because typing a key on the keyboard will not print inside the text field. Expected Results: Text should appear in the in-focused text field, and shouldn't act as keyboard shortcuts in unfocused windows. Build Date & Platform: GIMP 2.8.4 on Mac OS 10.9 Macbook Air 2012 model, upgraded to Mavericks, with US keyboard. Additional Builds and Platforms: GIMP 2.8.2 on Mac OS 10.9
