Sometimes when I have multiple windows in Redcar I get focus problems.
Here is behavior I see:

1. I have one window open.
2. I open a file into a new window
3. I refocus back on the old window and I don't see the cursor when I
click anywhere in the text. But it is still somewhat working. If I
type a character it shows up and if I hit "backspace" it removes
characters properly. There is just no indication where the cursor is.
4. If I select text it doesn't highlight. If I try to copy and paste
it actually copies and pastes in the window no longer focused.
5. If I activate a new tab in the old non-focusable window (for
example open the plugin manager) it starts behaving normally. But if
the window looses it's focus it goes back to acting odd again.

Note that it doesn't always do this. Sometimes when I use multiple
windows it works just fine.

Does this give anybody any clues where I should look to try to resolve
this problems. It is REALLY annoying. :)

Thanks!

Eric

Hi eric,

I suffer from the same issue.

Usually I change the focussed program by Alt-Tab on the OS layer and click into the window e.g. a Term window. Afterwards redcar works normally.

Maybe this gives you a clue concerning the routines.
