Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-mag
After quitting magnifier, the screen stays split, and mouse behavior is
abnormal. In particular, the apparent visual position of the cursor does
not correspond to where the clicks actually happen.
WHAT I EXPECT TO HAPPEN: When running magnifier, the screen is split
between magnified and non-magnified views. After quitting magnifier, the
screen should be restored to a single non-magnified pane.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS: After quitting magnifier, the screen remains
split. The top pane (or the left pane, in the case of vertical split)
contains only my desktop background. The bottom pane (or right pane, in
the case of vertical split) contains my desktop icons, gnome-panel, and
mouse pointer etc. However, clicking on an icon visible in the bottom
pane has the effect of clicking on what would be in the bottom half of
the screen, if the whole desktop were visible. See enclosed screen shot.
WHY THIS IS BAD: Beyond the fact that magnifier doesn't work when it's
running, it also leaves the system in an unusable state.
WORKAROUND: I can restore the screen to a normal mode by switching video
mode. E.g.: xrandr -s 1; xrandr -x 0
SYSTEM: Tested on Lucid 10.04, but as I recall this problem has existed
at least since Jaunty. I am using nvidia drivers.
