[dev] [dwm] Input lockup in Firefox address bar?

[Ben Oliver]

I can't put my finger on what causes this, but on occasion I'll open
Firefox, get one or two characters into typing a URL/search query and it
stops taking all keyboard input.

The fix is simple - switch to another workspace and switch back.

I'm on dwm 6.1, with the following patches:

- systray
- focusonclick
- scratchpad
- solarized

Pretty basic config tweaks - font, some key combos etc.

It's not a massive issue, I'm really just wondering if anyone else is
getting it.

I'm posting here because I didn't get it on i3.

Can you reproduce the issue without custom patches?

(BTW dwm has no workspaces, but tags)

Yeah I'll try. It will take some time because it occurs infrequently
even with the patches.

I knew I'd got it wrong as soon as I hit send ;)
