Hello,

this is a bug in the ois library and affects not everyone. You can
change this behaviour by editing ~/.freeorion/OISInput.cfg and setting

 	x11_keyboard_grab=false

to
	x11_keyboard_grab=true


FreeOrion will migrate to SDL2 in the near future and this bug will go
away then.

Regards,

Markus
