Hi all,
I'm using Kubuntu 8.04 on my laptop. Recently I got the following problem:
When I try to type in a command in the Run Command dialog (opened by Alt + F2) nothing happens. I.e. the dialog appears, but I cannot enter letters by typing on the keyboard. Ctrl+V to copy something is also not working. Only when I copy something with the menu opened by the right mouse button, it works.
Surprisingly this behavior only appears when Firefox (3.0.3) or Thunderbird (2.0.0.17) had the focus beforehand. As you can guess this is very annoying, when I surf the net and then want to start an application.
I installed Scim for Japanese input support recently, but I have no idea if or how this could be related.
If anybody has an idea what I could do to pin the problem down, I would be happy.
Thanks,
Cornelius

The darned run-command applet is a big reason I use Kubuntu, I'm used to it and I like it a lot. Or at least, I like it when it works...it makes a lousy panel decoration.
