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?
