guys, thanks for reporting. I can confirm this is an issue, particularly with Chrome windows distributed across desktops. We'll see what we can do about it.[/quote]

I have the same problem with VS Code.
Maybe because it is developed based on browser technology.

An issue similar to this has appeared in Chromium 87 and 88-based browsers, including Chrome and Edge. It relates to the Chromium feature "Calculate window occlusion on Windows" (kCalculateNativeWinOcclusion) which was enabled by default in Chromium 87. The issue can be made to go away by disabling that feature on the "chrome://flags" page.

There is a Chromium project bug at https://crbug.com/1162955, but the engineer there has suggested that the correct fix might be in Dexpot, and has invited contact or comment from a Dexpot engineer. Given that this issue (https://dexpot.de/bugs/index.php?do=details&task_id=189) appears to date from 2016, whereas crbug.com/1162955 is relatively new as discussed above, it's not clear that they are the same issue, however I don't know if I am able to register to create new Dexpot bugs myself. (I don't work for Dexpot or Google, just an interested party.)

This is frustrating that is has not been fixed yet! It's been bugging me for a long time.

Same here. Cannot start typing if I use a keyboard shortcut for switching between desktops.
Windows 7.

Can't Type Right After Switching Desktops

Post by Spartan010 » 30.01.2016 20:21:35

Right after I switch desktops, I cannot type anything until I alt tab to a different window. A note, I do have administrator access allowed.

I am experiencing the same issue. Windows 7 Pro. It happens frequently (but not every time) I switch desktops. Fix for me is to reset the active window (click on any other window, then back again) and I can type. Very frustrating though and would love to see a fix.

See what appears to be same issue being described on Chrome forums

OMG!

I have been looking for a solution to this issue for ages - I reinstalled my entire operating system to attempt to fix this really annoying issue.

behold - that was not the solution - the issue has started happening again on windows 8.1

Please fix this! I love Dexpot, but it is totally unusable at the moment!!

Thanks

Same problem here.
Fastest 'fix' i found is hitting the windows button then escape, that seems to fix it temporarily.

Is this still not resolved? This is significant enough that I'm uninstalling Dexpot.

Ps. In case it helps I am running the latest available version (1.6.14 build 2439) and I am experiencing this bug...

Re: Keyboard input stops working. Only resumes when I switch

Post by panosgr » 24.09.2015 12:49:54

Unfortunately, I am having the same issue on Windows 8.1 and it's quite annoying to the point that I consider uninstalling as I cannot really do my job... could you please fix that?

I also have this issue and I'm using Windows 8!

I have the same issue on windows 7, it is rather annoying! Would be great if someone could provide a fix.

I have the same problem, and running Windows 8.1, so it's not a Windows 10 conflict issue. Looking forward to an update/fix for this, as I really love Dexpot and would hate to have to switch to something else because of this :-(
