I'm having a problem with alarm tree. When I right click and choose "Add Component", the app performs a grab of the keyboard and mouse with the following result:
  • No keyboard input is accepted from the alarm tree popup window (where I may select the type and content)
  • No Keyboard or mouse input is seen by other Phoebus applications or external applications
The only input accepted is using the mouse to select the type (node or pv/s) or clicking the cancel or OK button in the popup window but at this point no new content has been entered so nothing may be added to the tree.

Has anyone seen anything like this?

I am accessing the system though vnc and see no other issues except for one that may be related. If I make a change in display builder
and exit without having already saved the change, I get a popup which allows me to save or discard changes but something has performed a keyboard and mouse grab and I have to kill the vnc session from a terminal to recover.
