[SOLVED] XFCE + FreeBSD + VirtualBox: Focus Issue!

Hi Folks,

I am trying to break down this issue but I couldn't determine if this belongs to XFCE, X11(FreeBSD) or VirtualBox, but the problem is clicking three times the arrow button key makes the focus jumping to another window, you can cycle all the windows opened just continuing click down and it makes extremely complicated using the XFCE4.

I used XEV to capture the input but I couldn't find any hints:

KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,
    root 0x51d, subw 0x0, time 11215413, (-538,-611), root:(45,154),
    state 0x10, keycode 116 (keysym 0xff54, Down), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,
    root 0x51d, subw 0x0, time 11215542, (-538,-611), root:(45,154),
    state 0x10, keycode 116 (keysym 0xff54, Down), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

FocusOut event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,
    mode NotifyNormal, detail NotifyNonlinear

On the FreeBSD forum I haven't received any help yet.

Thanks in advance,

D.

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE + FreeBSD + VirtualBox: Focus Issue!

Apparently the issue was within VirtualBox...

For some unknown reason the mouse scroll-wheel causes Firefox to go back and forth on any tab history currently in use, to fix this I run this command at each login through xfce4-session:

/usr/local/bin/xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 0 0 11 12"

Disabling that command fixes the keyboard issue but reintroduces the Firefox bug. Running the same command manually after the login has fixed the Firefox issue without affecting the arrow down key!

Solution?

sh -c 'sleep 3 && /usr/local/bin/xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 0 0 11 12"'

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE + FreeBSD + VirtualBox: Focus Issue!

What's the output of:

xfconf-query --channel xfwm4 --list --verbose

and

xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -lv

from within your VM guest?

Remember to edit the subject of your topic to include the [SOLVED] tag once you're satisfied with the answers or have found a solution (in which case, don't forget to share it as well), so that other members of the community can quickly refer to it and save their time. Pretty please! tongue

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE + FreeBSD + VirtualBox: Focus Issue!

Try backing up the xfwm4 channel and reset it.

It didn't work but resetting everything did...

I remade the same configuration I'll test it for a couple of days!

Thanks!
