- I have had the same problem as long as I've been on epoch 4.x. The key seems
- to be that it happens when the window manager is used to change X window
- focus with a keyboard binding (instead of by moving or clicking the mouse).
-
- It happens to me when I iconify a window in mwm with a keystroke, and epoch
- doesn't realize that the mouse cursor is now in the newly exposed epoch
- window. The keystrokes go to the iconified buffer. Most annoying!
-
- The workaround is to use C-Z o or to move the mouse out of and back into the
- window.
