4. Click in Firefox address field and try to write something. Letters do not appear.
5. Move Firefox window a bit and you can write now.

 This looks like the report here:

 https://www.mail-archive.com/ctwm@ctwm.org/msg01257.html

 but that doesn't specify the CTWM version; and I'm unable to
 reproduce this on 4.1.0. Does the latest version work:

 This problem is different than the one described in:
 https://www.mail-archive.com/ctwm@ctwm.org/msg01257.html

 and it occurs in NetBSD 9.4, NetBSD 10.0 with ctwm 4.0.3.

 I can switch between workspaces but when I go back to a workspace I
 can't sometimes type in it. This problem happens randomly and goes
 away when I move the app window a bit with the mouse by grabbing the
 title bar and I can type again.

 I just tested ctwm-4.0.3 from 9.4_STABLE on a -HEAD system and I just can't
 reproduce this. (Apart from a bug making drop-down menus in FF disappear when
 you move into them; but, that isn't seen on 4.1.0.)

 Can you try compiling ctwm-4.1.0 from pkgsrc (it's very easy) after appliying
 the patch from here as a local patch:

 https://www.mail-archive.com/ctwm@ctwm.org/msg01272.html

 The pkgsrc guide tells you how to do it. Else, just file a pkgsrc PR. Without
 that patch, the ctwm-4.1.0 in pkgsrc doesn't launch programs correctly.
