This seems to still happen, got this on the mailing list:

From: Roman Pořízka <porizka@gmail.com>
Hi,
I've got a question about chrooted keychains. They aren't working for
me when VMWare player is running. I've got this keychain:

 <keybind key="C-A-v" chroot="true">
      <keybind key="Up">
        <action name="Execute">
          <execute>aumix -w +5</execute>
        </action>
      </keybind>
      <keybind key="Down">
        <action name="Execute">
          <execute>aumix -w -5</execute>
        </action>
      </keybind>
      <keybind key="Right">
        <action name="Execute">
          <execute>aumix -v +5</execute>
        </action>
      </keybind>
      <keybind key="Left">
        <action name="Execute">
          <execute>aumix -v -5</execute>
        </action>
      </keybind>
      <keybind key="Escape">
        <action name="BreakChroot"/>
      </keybind>
    </keybind>

When I press C-A-v and then Up with VMplayer running the chroot is
broken without pressing Escape. Could this be solved within openbox
code or there's need for VMPlayer fix?

There was another report on the ml so this definitely still happens.

'reconfigure' is only a partial fix for me - it restores many of the broken keybindings, but Super-1, Super-2 (jump straight to desktop 1, 2 etc.) still do not work.  I have not seen any negative impact on mouse bindings.

Sorry; I should have said that I am using 3.4.6.1, and I now see that 3.4.7.1 has the fix in - I will retest with that.

Just upgraded to 3.4.7.2 and after an openbox --replace I see no difference in behaviour :-(  'reconfigure' is still required after VMware has had focus, and even after this, Super-1 etc. still do not work.  I should clarify that by 'Super-1' I actually mean <keybind key="W-1"> in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml and my xmodmap set-up is correct because many other W- bindings such as <keybind key="W-comma"> work fine.  Just in case it helps:

xmodmap:  up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock
control     Control_L (0x25)
mod1        Meta_L (0x6b),  Meta_R (0x71)
mod2        Alt_L (0x61),  Alt_L (0x7d)
mod3
mod4        Super_R (0x6d),  Super_R (0x74)
mod5

Any progress on this?  Thanks!

Am I the only VMware/openbox user who sees this still?

im going to try download vmware and see what i can see.  debugging proprietary apps is always fun.

can you attach your rc.xml file ?  it is working with VMWare for me.  when focus leaves the VMWare window, my keybindings in Openbox are restored.

it may be work noting that i can reproduce this with openbox 3.4.6.1 though.

waiting for feedback on this.

Created attachment 2298 [details]
my openbox rc.xml

Hmm, this actually seems to be working perfectly for me now, but I'm attaching my rc.xml anyway.

oh really, that is good :) and consistent with what i am seeing.  so i'm going to mark this fixed then.  if you have problems again you can reopen it and let us know.  thanks for the feedback!
