Subject: Keyboard goes dead
Date: Sat, 05 Feb 2011 16:11:37 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <iikeea$nvb$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)

23.1.1 on Linux x86, 64bit

Has anyone seen this:

About once a day, the keyboard becomes inactive within emacs.  The mouse 
works, and the keyboard works outside emacs.

It seems to happen right after I do a grep or compile and try to do a 
next-error.

Sometimes, I can recover by hitting return in the compile or grep 
window.  When I do that, the messages window appears, and anything that 
I typed in the other windows is processed.

Other times, I have to kill emacs.

Ctrl-G doesn't have any effect, nor does ESC-ESC-ESC.

Any clues?  Anything to try?
