[OpenIndiana-discuss] Keyboard stall in MATE-terminal

[Gary Mills]

I'm assuming that other people have experienced this problem, but I'd
still like to hear from you if you have.

It happens to me with MATE-terminal, but not with xterm or the emacs
GUI.  It only happens occasionally with any application that runs in
MATE-terminal, including mutt, the shell, and the pager pg.

Specifically, a character that I type sometimes has no effect on the
application.  Waiting for a while seems to make no difference.  When I
type another character, the application responds to both.  However, if
I move the cursor outside of the MATE-terminal window, the application
responds to the missing character.  That character seems to be hidden
away some place until something like another character or an interrupt
sends it up to the application.  I don't have a way to reproduce this
problem, but it happens frequently enough for me to notice it.

I'll be happy to file a bug report, but first I'd like to be sure
that it's happening to other people as well as to me.  I'm running
a version of oi-hipster that was current on 01 July 2018.  I'm using
the en_US.UTF-8 locale.
