Safari 7.1 blocks all keyboard input in Flash app

Safari 7.1 on OSX 10.9.5 blocks any and all keyboard input for FlashPlayer applications!! Everything worked fine until the upgrade to Safari 7.1 and OSX 10.9.5. Tried FlashPlayer 14 and the latest 15 -- still no keyboard input, not even in debug mode (I'm a developer of enterprise apps for browsers).
The same app still works just fine in Firefox and Google Chrome! Is this just a mishap on Apple's side? Or just another hit to kill off the most productive computer language I've ever used (and I used Apple's own Objective-C as well)??
Come on Apple! I love you guys and use your products a lot, but is this really necessary for the most powerful and valuable company in the world -- to hurt a language with such tricks that doesn't do you any harm at all?? This makes you look more like the "PC guy" from your own former commercials (instead of the lovable "Mac guy") ...

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.

New release Safari 7.1 blocks all keyboard input in Flash Application

Since I have upgraded to Safari 7.1, none of our Flash Web Application are accessible; Meaning that all Flash Input field are blocked.
We have created many (R.I.A = Rich Internet Application) with Flash / Flex... And the new release of the Web Browser Safari 7.1 cannot be used to
run the Flash application.
Can Apple fix to quicly ?
I believe I'm not the only one concern by this big issue; Flash platform is widely used over the world thus I want to believe that Apple is taking into account that big issue and will sort that out very quickly !
Thank you
Cheers

Hi,
I have the same issue, but only with Flash Player debug version (version 14.0.0.145 and also 15.0.0.152).
When installing the non-debug player, I am able to input text into textfields.
I also hope this will be fixed soon.

Subtle Window Manager Blocks All keyboard Input?

So I'm trying to use subtle on a headless server box of mine over a tightvnc server. Yet for some reason all keyboard input is blocked. If I'm using twm instead, everything works fine.
~/.vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
#exec ck-launch-session subtle &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#twm &
subtle &
Again, I can type into xterm when I'm using twm, but not when I'm using subtle. Anyone else know of some sort of work-around that they've used with the same or possibly another WM?
Thanks!

Via xinit? That worked, but I don't really want to use the root display for it, just in case I need to do some maintenance on it at the machine . (I do blind command manual maintenance sometimes just because it's easier.
Is there possibly another way other than using xinit and x11vnc or that does what I want it too?

Just started with NetBeans IDE, need to capture all keyboard input!

Hello,
I discovered that I can only capture keyboard events when my GUI application has focus. Ok, but I need a functionality that can capture all keyboard input, even if my application runs in the background or in the system tray.
How can I achieve that?
Regards,
Mirza

I know...sorry, didn't mean to imply otherwise.Don't worry about it; I wasn't offended. (I didn't think that that was what you were tying to do.) I was trying to (subtly) take this a different direction. (Was going to write something Solaris specific or perhaps something in ASM that would effectively do what the O/P wanted. Seeing as how Key Loggers only serve one practical purpose - as far as I know - I just wanted to give him code that he could do nothing with.)

[SOLVED] wmii ignores all keyboard input

I'm trying to use wmii on my new arch install. No matter which of the wmiircs I use, it never accepts any keyboard input to switch tags, open windows or anything else. The clock is correctly updated and if I open a window using DISPLAY=:1 from another terminal, I can move it around with the mouse. Evilwm is working fine and the only error in Xorg.0.log is related to fbdev. Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong here?
EDIT: Just a major PEBKAC. I forgot that Win is the new default modkey and wmii didn't ask me because xmessage wasn't installed.

Anyone have any ideas? I tried reinstalling base and base-devel through pacman...still no relief.... This is bizarre.
EDIT: It's getting worse. System now hangs on boot at "Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed." Things are rapidly going downhill.
EDIT: No booting due to Udev fixed my booting without acpi. I rebooted into another linux distro to poke around in /var/log/pacman.log for a bit to see if I could find the offending update. Nothing seemed really suspicious, except for the update to "linux-api-headers." (Anything with "headers" is suspicious. So, I decided I would boot back into Arch and try to downgrade that package. After booting back into Arch, I see that the problem has disappeared...so...I dunno what to say...I have no idea what/how this got fixed, or how I (yes, let's be honest here...it must be "I") broke it in the first place.

Flash movie stealing keyboard input Facebook Connect app

I have a Flash application that integrated Facebook friend connect. When the user initiates Facebook Friend Connect it pops up a new window that prompts the user to log into facebook.
On internet explorer when I type in my username and password I intermittently lose key strokes. If I remove the flash page from the HTML content and do the same facebook connect on IE I don't lose the keystrokes.
On Firefox this works completely fine.
Is there something in flash that could be causing this behavior of intermittent keyboard focus stealing on IE?

i would first try a different external keyboard if you have one. try other usb ports on the mbp as well. if another keyboard doesnt give you grief then you would want to go to a retail store and have them swap it out or call apple support for a replacement.

Keyboard input in swing app

If you have a swing app how do you listen to keyboard clicks? (Similar actionListener with buttons menus etc)
For example up, down,right, left...

From the Swing tutorial, here is the section on "Listeners Support by Swing":

Keyboard input changed to wrong language

I'm using a dual g5 desktop running tiger 10.4.4. This morning all keyboard input is in the wrong language. It's greek or one of the symbol fonts. According to the setings in the international panel everything should be set to US English, roman script. I know that CMD+space used to toggle between input choices but that now brings up Spotlight. Is another key combination that toggles the languages? Other settings to check? It's interesting that the input menu tab of the international pane still says use CMD+space to toggle inputs, but that no longer works.
Help? thanks

According to the setings in the international panel
everything should be set to US English, roman
script.
The setting that matters is system preferences/international/input menu (not languages). Also make sure you have the box checked for "show input menu in finder," so you can see what keyboard layout is active in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder.

Keyboard input without focus

Hi !!
Does anybody know how to write an application that catches the keyboard input all the time, regardless if other application has the focus. I want something like a windows service that runs in the background an catches all keyboard input. Can anybody give me an ideea ??

this can only be done using a hook...and hooks can only be done using native code....like c/c++/assembler for the operating system.

Keyboard input bug

Does anyone else find that Keynote 09 sometimes stops responding to all keyboard input after a few minutes of running? And if so, is there a way to fix it?

I've been hit with a bug on ubuntu linux 12.04 where I can't type apostrophes (not on all versions, just on this machine). Every time I try to type an apostrophe(') in the editor I get a space instead. This is obviously quite unnerving. Does anyone know what might be causing this. Presumably since I'm only seeing it on this install it must be something configuration related. I upgraded to the latest version available but the problem still persists.Long shot: is the key bad on the keyboard on that one machine?

Keyboard input for a nubie!!!!

Can anyone help me with writng a method that accepts all keyboard input and writes it to a file? I.e. whenever a key is pressed (only letters and numbers), it is accepted even if no programs are running and no text editor is being used.
This will help me great deal and I would be very appreciative for any help I might receive.
Thanking any response
ChaosSupreme

Is this like making a key logger? It takes down all your input and saves it to a file? If it is I'm sure there are plenty of tutorials on how to make a key logger out there.
I guess you would have to look up buffered writer and rile writer methods, although I think they are just through a text editor or program.

Keyboard Input in fullscreen mode!!

Hello,
I know that adobe has blocked the keyboard input in fullscreen mode.
But, is there any other way to implement that.

That doesnt work.
At FullScreen the Flash Player is active and Javascript does not get the keyboard events (I think)
you can try here:
(just click on the right side to activate HTML , then press a key...
Javascript sends the keyCode as a Number to Flash and Flash changes the x position of the button)

OSX/SL 10.6.8 all window apps lose keyboard input; mouse and cmd-N work for spaces

Input suddenly stops going to all applications, from MacBook Pro and wireless keyboards, and from "Show Keyboard viewer" (OSX 10.6.8 'Snow Leopard', MacBook Pro). Though the OSX Keyboard Viewer shows the keys onscreen as they are pressed on the MacBook and wireless keyboards. 'Spaces' responds to cmd-N commands, but no input is possible to any running or newly-started 3rd party or Apple-provided application. Killing off applications one by one doesn't recover keyboard input ability; a complete reboot appears necessary to restore the ability to key input into applications. This happens repeatedly, yet never registers as an OS/X 'crash' because 'Force Quit'ting applications and restarting is still possible using only the magic mouse or trackpad. No data whether only logging out and back in would correct the apparent input-focus disconnect of all applications with the window manager. There may be some way to restart the window manager by using the mouse to open up new apps and/or cut and paste characters ( including a carriage return ) or cut and paste entire saved typed commands into a terminal window.

Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Keyboard Input Non-Functional

When I attempt to play any flash game on any given website I
get no feedback from the game. Mouse movements and clicks do,
however, work. I'm running on an iMac G5 with the latest Flash
Player installed. I've tried uninstalling Flash then reinstalling
as well as several different browsers (Safari, Firefox, Opera) to
no avail.
I've noticed a few topics about this problem around the web
with no answer... I'm hoping there is one :\
Thanks in advance!

I am using a Bluetooth keyboard. I've noticed that the issue
does resolve itself when using a USB keyboard.
Ex: launch flash game with BT keyboard, games ignores
keyboard input. Connect USB keyboard - game responds normally and
the keys on the BT are still ignored.
Leaging the game running, switch to textedit and all the keys
on the BT keyboard are recognized. Back to the game = BT ignored,
USB works.
I'd like to blame this all on Adobe but Why would Apple even
make is possible to distinguish between a BT and USB keyboard at
the Application level?
