Summary0005083: Can't type in fill-in form
DescriptionWhen I try to open a new project, first I couldn't "Create Folder" in the "select folder" dialog. Nothing I typed showed up. I created the desired folder and tried again. Now I can select the desired folder, but I can't type a project name into the "Name" box of the "Session Control".
Additional InformationThis is my first try running ardour-2.8.14-1.fc17.x86_64 on a new machine. I can type into all other boxes & windows, just not the two ardour boxes I tried. This is on an up-to-date Fedora 17 machine.
TagsNo tags attached.

New things of note... 1, when I started ardour the first time my CWD was /proc/asound/ in order to discover my card info for qjackctl. When I changed to ~/temp then I got a dialog from ardour that has content very much like the qjackctl config.

I still can't type into a box, but I can cut and paste text into the box. Pasting is done with my middle button on my 3-button mouse.

When starting ardour in a terminal window, here are the message I see:

The solution to this was to quit the qjackctl session that was running when I started ardour in /proc/asound/... From scratch, I restarted ardour in a directory writable by me. Now all is working well.

Maybe this info is useful anyway?

TTFN.
