No Keyboard Input when application is launched from terminal

bionic-yeti

I'm wondering if I've come across a bug or if I'm missing something in the project export settings. I exported an X11 project, and when I run the exported build from the terminal, my application doesn't receive keyboard input. It receives gamepad input fine, but no keys. However, if I run the application by clicking on it in the file browser, the application responds to keyboard input. When I run from the terminal I do see characters appearing in the terminal but no input reaches the application, almost as if the terminal has captured the input. Has anyone else run into this? I'm running 64-bit Linux Mint 18.1

Using Godot 2.1.4

Thank you for any help you can offer.

I just exported an older project from 2.1 to 2.1.4 and opened in the terminal and input works just fine. I'm using Ubuntu Linux 16.4 64 bit and I exported with the default settings.

Does clicking the application after you've launched it from the console resolve the issue? It could be that the console is taking priority over the exported Godot game on an OS side, and that's why you can see key presses in the console and why the game isn't picking it up.

I haven't every had any problems with input related to launching from the console before, but I also haven't really used Godot 2.1.4 either... :sweat_smile:

Thanks for the extra data point @TwistedTwigleg .. Oddly enough, after restarting my computer this morning, the same build is working fine. I'm not sure what happened that it was wonky yesterday and not today. I've been trying to reproduce this morning again and now I'm not having any problems.

I apologize for the false alarm - I guess my computer just needed a break :)
