[mythtv-users] Popup menus occasionally unresponsive with LIRC

[David Ellis]

This is a focus issue with your window manager....basically if mythfrontend
doesn't have focus when you access a menu you can't navigate it properly.

If you play around with the focus settings in your Window Manager(in KDE its
in KDE Control Center), you can usually make the problem disappear.

This problem is most noticeable after playing a video in Xine (for me
anyways).

Happens to me all the time, to fix I exit the pop-up then press "i".  That 
pop-up is always fine, and then I close it and return to "m" which is now 
fine.  Hope that works for you as well.
