I would suspect KDE as well. There is nothing similar happening in other programs?

My KDE (Mageia 4; Linux kernel 3.12;KDE 4.11) has been annoying me with input and copying issues. I am able 
to point and even highlight things in active Firefox, LibreOffice and Evo (3.10.2) windows (my most 
frequently used programs), only to have data entry, copying or pasting fail until I hit ESC or *sometimes* 
click on what is a presumably active window. In Evo, it is a pain since ESC in an open message closes it!

I have a new install of Manjaro e18 on a netbook (with Evo 3.12.4) where I have not noticed the problem, but 
I confess to not having worked with the install long enough to say for sure.

Best,
Roy
