1. Open emacs and do some editing 2. Alt-Tab to switch to terminator or gnome-terminal 3. keyboard input lost in terminator or gnome-terminal 4. to get it back in terminator or gnome-terminal, I have to a. right click terminator or gnome-terminal or
b. Alt-Tab switch to other application and then switch back
I only find this problem with emacs and terminator or gnome-terminal. Alt-Tab from emacs to other apps like firefox works ok. Alt-Tab from other apps to terminator or gnome-terminal works ok.
It seems to me that emacs holds the keyboard input focus and doesnot wish to give it to terminator or gnome-terminal when Alt-Tab.
