A "C-z o" > is necessary to persuade epoch into the switch. I have had the same problem as long as I've been on epoch 4.x. The key seems to be that it happens when the window manager is used to change X window focus with a keyboard binding (instead of by moving or clicking the mouse). It happens to me when I iconify a window in mwm with a keystroke, and epoch doesn't realize that the mouse cursor is now in the newly exposed epoch window. The keystrokes go to the iconified buffer. Most annoying! The workaround is to use C-Z o or to move the mouse out of and back into the window. - Phil
