View Full Version : the wa frontend won't let you type unless the mouse is on the window

Very weird thing I just noticed:
1. Start WA in virtual desktop (windowed) mode on linux with wine.
2. Join a channel in wormnet.
3. Move the mouse off of the window (what wa things is the screen).
4. Try to type. Nothing happens.

This isn't really a bug in WA because under normal circumstances, your mouse has to be somewhere on the screen. But is it a bug in wine that the virtual desktop makes it possible? Should it be fixed? Why doesn't WA let me type when the mouse isn't on the window?

try to disable "focus follows mouse" in your window manager.
