Cadence 6 Key Lock

GTStan

Hello Gentlemen, My research team and I are encountering an issue in Cadence 6 (IC6.1.4.500.13 (32-bit)) where dialogue boxes will suddenly be unresponsive to key stroke entries.  This seems to happen at random intervals and the only means of fixing this issue has been to do a cold re-boot of Cadence 6.  We have attempted closing and re-opening all dialogue boxes, but the boxes still remain unresponsive to key strokes.  The CIW will however respond to keyboard entries.  Any insight would be appreciated!

  • Hi,

    I've seen this under various circumstances, for me it only seemed to happen with a certain window manager setup (Gnome or KDE, I can't remember which, but I don't think that I suffered this issue with IC61x on FVWM) but I think that the culprit was an environment variable setting "XMODIFIERS" - try removing this setting (or changing it?) and see if the problem still occurs. If I remember correctly, removing this setting fixed the issue for me.  Not sure if it is important whether VNC was involved or not, I think that the problem occurred if I was sat directly at the terminal too.

    Hope this helps!
