Ob And Typing

OK, so here is my problem: when I have OB open I cannot type in Mozilla Firebird or any Microsoft Office program. The text boxes just stay completely white and the typing little "|" doesn't even appear. The only way I can type in Firebird is by changing the theme, which only works till I close the window. And I can never type in things like Word or Publisher. Does anyone know how to fix this?

another way to fix with firebird is to just open then close the options menu.

works for me. but i don't know how to fix the overall problem, and would like to know.

I've never had that problem... I can type fine when OB is on (as this post miraculously shows :lol: ) strange... :blink:

Apparently not.

This is not a problem with ObjectBar, but with WindowBlinds. Disable skinning for Word and the other office applications (you'll find the option to do this in WindowBlinds config) and the problem will be gone. And the nice look of word too of course. Too bad, that's why I stopped using WB and went back to VS instead. :rant:

EDIT: But if you *really* LOVE WindowBlinds so much that you can't leave it behind and can't stand the sight of "classic" Word, you can always run the program twice. Then the cursor is released from the paralyse spell.
