It keeps receiving mouse events, so I can move the cursor around and so forth, but typing into the frame has no effect. Apparently, if I just keep typing random junk into the frame, the problem will resolve itself, with most of the input lost. (This is a new observation, not yet thoroughly confirmed. Previously, I would just kill the frame and open a new one.) In any case, the problem only affects one frame, and other frames work as usual. This is happening on OS X, --with-ns, recent builds from trunk. I think the problem has been around for quite a while (i.e., weeks), but I just haven't gotten around to reporting it until now. I'd file a bug report, but the problem is that I have no idea how to reproduce the problem. It just happens at random times. Do other OS X users see this? Can you suggest something I could try to get more information next time it happens? I gather that the event loop is notoriously hard to debug, however. - Harald
