Unable to type in text boxes
Hi all, really enjoying this game (Debian pkg 0.4.4-2 svn 7640). Just one minor bug so far: I can't type into text boxes, to rename ship designs or saved games. Is this known? Or curable?

Re: Unable to type in text boxes
Various similar issues have been reported, often appearing after alt-tabbing (or equivalent) away and back from the FreeOrion window.
See: viewtopic.php?p=63109#p63109 or http://sourceforge.net/p/freeorion/bugs/549/
Removing issues such as this with the OIS input plugin are part of the motivation for the in-progress transition to using SDL instead of Ogre.

Excellent, thank you. I'm currently trying to migrate Angband from SDL1.2 to SDL2 so I have some sympathy - though the transition from Ogre is doubtless harder!Geoff the Medio wrote:Various similar issues have been reported, often appearing after alt-tabbing (or equivalent) away and back from the FreeOrion window.

Can sometimes be solved by pressing and releasing Alt in the game, I think.
