Mac & Screen Sharing / Keyboard Lock

Greetings, I have started having a rather bizarre problem running JEdit - my favorite cross-platform delevlopment editor - on a Mac ... but only when using screen sharing (?!). I believe this started when I upgraded from El Capitan to Mojave (on some Macs) and High Sierra (on some Macs that don't support Mojave). I don't remember ever seeing this problem on El Capitan. JEdit works fine when I am sitting at the Mac connected keyboard and screen. I have seen no issues since upgrading. However, if I use macOS Screen Sharing to a remote Mac, I can open JEdit on the remote Mac, begin editing a file, and everything is fine until I lose focus and click on another window. Then, if I click back on my JEdit window -- still within screen sharing -- the keyboard is completely locked unresponsive, but only in the JEdit window. Of course, I can change focus to any other window on the remote Mac and the keyboard works fine. What is even more bizarre is if I then physically go to the connected keyboard and screen of what was the remote Mac once this happens, the keyboard is also unresponsive within the JEdit window. However, while still sitting at the connected keyboard and screen, I click on another window to change focus, and then click back on the JEdit window, I can once again type in JEdit. So ... I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Or if anyone out there has any ideas? I am running the latest JEdit (5.5.0) with the Oracle JRE 1.8.0_121. I know it is easy to blame on macOS Screen Sharing, but I don't experience this with any other program, and regardless of the root cause, I'd love to find a work-around. My use case is that I manage five (5) Macs, each doing different things, an spend most of my day in front of a 4K monitor so that I can manage all of them, via Screen Sharing. Also, I originally had this problem running an older version of JEdit (I believe it was 5.3), so I upgraded (to 5.5.0) hoping it would help, but it did not. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave. -- ----------------------------------------------- jEdit Users' List [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jedit-users
