I could really use some help tracking this bug down.  It is killing
me.  I just upgraded to 16.7 from 16.6 and the problem became quite a
bit worse.

Under Linux in Firefox, I frequently open web links in a new window by
middle clicking.  As that window draws and fills with content, I
usually immediately drag it out of the way of the original window with
alt-left-click.  When I try and do this "too quickly", the window
steals focus and cannot be moved.  Since 16.7, my mouse then is
frequently trapped within the Firefox window.

My only recourse is to leave X via Alt-shift-F<something> to a text
desktop and kill the firefox. However, since upgrading to 16.7, that
does not always fix the problem. Since upgrading, I sometimes then get
left with focus anchored within an xterm.  In this state, I am unable
to move the mouse outside of the xterm window and the mouse pointer
reverts to the classical X Windows "X" pointer.  Today, I was only
able to escape from that xterm by killing it (next step would have
been to terminate the X server).

This occurs with Firefox 0.8 through the current 0.10.1 release.

I realize not everyone opens links in new windows with the frequency
that I do. But I have found it is the most efficient way to work on a
fast machine with lots of screen real estate.


Any help on tracking this down or working around it would be appreciated.


Thank you!
