From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Java app dropping connection to keyboard? (lemmy.d.thewooskeys.com)

Hi. I run Moneydance in Ubuntu 22.04.2 and it periodically stops accepting keyboard input - not just in tet fields, but key shortcuts, keyboard navigation, everything related to keyboard. I have to quit and relaunch it for it to accept keyboard input again.

Moneydance is written in Java. Has anyone heard of Java apps dropping keyboard connectivity?

Hmm, strange. The last comment from Dan (second to last comment on the thread) makes it sound like their is another thread, and other users with the same problem:

Whew, I found the other thread and am happy to see that others are encountering this too, and it's not some super duper weird thing with just my computer...

I tried searching a bit to see if I could find it quickly, but didn't turn anything up. Maybe if you comment there, though, they could link you to the other thread, and they might have more info.
