You even overdid it, the game did not block the keyboard. But I admit you were able to recreate the same effect. I do not understand why you think this behavior is normal. In a multitasking environment, when one application can influence another it is perceived as a system vulnerability. It also opens up a large field of activity of extortionists software and simply poorly written software, which will create the illusion that the computer is frozen. When I studing several year ago Wayland architecture I thought that for each X11 application would used separate XWayland client this allow fix all XServer problems in modern systems. At that time it was a problem with Remmina which sometimes did not want to give away control of mouse and keyboard and I had to kill XServer every time through the console. I think this should be fixed in Wayland environment for all type of applications.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
