Re: Issue with Keyboard Input in Web Browsers Under StumpWM

[York Zhao]

Thank you all for your help. Finally, the problem was found to be not related to StumpWM, and was addressed by downgrading libx11. Please refer to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2161117#p2161117 for more detail in case you are interested. I apologize for reporting the issue here.
