Yeah the title pretty much says it all.
When i ex. tab out of XBMC to go to a webpage (or something els) - then when i tab back into XBMC my keyboard is non-responsive? My mouse isn't thogh, even though my mouse is physically located on my keyboard (diNovo Edge).
Am I the only one having this problem? and can it be fixed? I'm using Alaska revisited mod...
Cheers
If you're using any version of XBMC prior to Dharma beta 2 this is a known bug and the solution is to upgrade to Dharma beta 3.

Hello.
I have a similar problem using Logitech Pro 2800 Cordless keyboard.
This problem showed itself after installing Dharma beta 2.
My problem is that the keyboard turns almost unresponsive after sometime while watching a movie/tv-series.
F.ex. if I pause a video and the screen goes into pause screen, the only thing I can with keyboard is to get out of pause screen by pushing a random key , but not starting the video again using space or in the menu scrolling with arrows and so on.
I can restart XBMC and then it works again for a while.
Any suggestion on what it can be?
Thx
Turn on debug logging, start then pause a video then press space a few times. Close XBMC then put the debug log (%appdata%\xbmc\xbmc.log) on pastebin.com for us to have a look at. The debug log will show us what keystroke XBMC thinks it's receiving.

The keyboard "failure" happened at about 21.54 time.
So it took about one hour to show itself, i pushed pause, stop, start, I (info) and used mouse while I was watching.
I ended by pressing space a few time.
Hope this help.
Thx again
Looking at the keyboard presses from 21:54 on, the CApplication::OnKey shows three different key codes, 192544, 192585 and 192539. Converting these to hex gives:
192544 = 2F020 = shift-space
192585 = 2F049 = shift-i
192539 = 2F01B = shift-escape
so the keyboard and/or XBMC thinks the shift key is being held down. Next time it happens try pressing and releasing the shift key a few times.
JR
Yes. That's it. Pressing the shift key once makes the keyboard work again.
So now the question is, why does XBMC and/or keyboard thinks that the shift key is being held down?
I didn't had this problem before Dharma was installed, so it might be some XBMC bug?
But at least I have a solution.
I tried to watch a couple of episode without using the mouse and it seems that it's not happening.
So maybe some mouse action is the problem here (logitech MX620).
