this problem seems to still occur, I have not run linux for long and i have only noticed this randomly in the last month.
Problem = "A" Window grabs control of the mouse and does not let go, can still move the mouse but no interaction with any part of the screen. This has happened on a Dell Latitude D505 and on a Fujitsu base unit, both running Xubuntu 12.04. I seem to be able to replicate the error by quickly and continuosly maximising and restoring the window by clicking in the windows title bar itself. This will work with Firefox 15.0.1 and with Thunar 1.2.3 but does not seem to work on the Terminal 0.4.8. (dont know if Terminal cannot trigger the error for some reason, but more qualified people will have to judge) I can only get out of it by getting to a terminal window using <ALT> + <CTRL> + F1, and typing "killall -u <MyUserName>. Then logging back in. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012257 Title: Firefox 13 takes control over the mouse pointer when bookmarks are dragged on xubuntu 12.04 Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: This bug first appeared when i tried to drag and drop bookmarks to the new "new tab" page. it repeated when i tried to drag and drop the favicon to a bookmark folder. EDIT: You can recover the pointer by killing firefox, alt-tabing to a taskmanager, pressing alt-F2 and killall firefox or going to a tty by ctrl-alt-Fn and killing from there, you can also just alt-f4 and close the firefox instance. This bug wasnt reported properly earlier, i apologize for that. ================ ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: firefox 13.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.39-generic 3.2.16 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
