Title:
Left Mouse Button Sometimes Gets Stuck in Unity (12.04)
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
The symptoms : I do "something" (haven't quite put my finger on it
yet) that causes the left mouse button to appear stuck down (its like
a MOUSE_DOWN event happened, but never a corresponding MOUSE_UP
event).
The stuck mouse button manifest itselfin Intellij IDEA, which
basically becomes unusable. Many times when this happens, the same
behavior is also present on applications inside the virtual box VMs.
I generally have the following three programs running at all times, so
I think it is triggered by something in them (I have a sneaking
suspicious its using the mousewheel to scroll up / scroll down in the
virtualbox vm).
- Intellij IDEA
- Virtual Box (usually running a few windows VMs)
- Chromium
To solve the problem, I end up having to completely reboot (which
kills a lot of time, because I have to alsy cycle the VMs).
As far as what triggers this problem - it is somewhat hard to
determine but I think it may have something to do with using the
mousewheel while the focus is on one of the virtual box VMs.
One other thing I've noticed is that the problem only seems to happen
in Unity. If I choose Gnome shell then I've not had the issue (but I
end up coming back to Unity since its grown on me).
Other people have also reported the same or similar issue here (I also
posted a description there) :
