Alice on Linux Amd - 64

[hdixon]

All of a sudden got a problem here at home - some parts of Alice allow typing and then some others do not. Dont know when this started. I removed the .alice folder. rebooted and restarted alice. That initially seemed to help. If i drag a Say method and type whatever the keypresses work. If I click the Add Method button and try typing a name for the method - nothing; no keypresses apppear from the keyboard. Weird....
