Dear TDE users list,
This is a problem probably outside of TDE. I often use ImageMagick import to take a snapshot of part of my screen, such as a particular image. With previous installations, up to openSUSE 15.2 (and TDE), I have always been able to enter something like:
import test.ppm
and then either use for example Ctrl+F4 or Alt+Tab to switch to a different desktop or window. However, with openSUSE 15.4 (tested with TDE and LXDE) after entering the command for import the keyboard freezes and I cannot switch desktop or window, neither I can exit import by pressing Ctrl+C. The mouse still works and I can still take a screenshot of whatever is on the screen. However, this makes it more combersome to take a screenshot. The interesting thing is that it seems like whatever I type on the keyboard is "queued" and executed once import exits (by drawing a rectangle with the mouse). So eventually it still switches but only after import is done.
If anybody has encountered this same problem and has a possible solution, I would be glad to hear.
Thanks,
Gianluca
There are three workarounds that you can use to switch screens without using the keyboard:
You can use the scrollwheel on your mouse to switch screens by placing the mouse cursor over the 'Desktop Preview and Pager' applet in your panel and rolling the scrollwheel, or by clicking on the desired screen rectangle in the Desktop Preview and Pager grid.
You can also check 'Mouse wheel over desktop background switches desktop' in Control Center => Desktop => Multiple Desktops.
You can also change 'Active Desktop Borders' to 'Always enabled' in Control Center => Desktop => Window Behavior, Advanced tab, which allows you to change screens by pushing the mouse cursor against one of the four edges of the current screen.
