Here's a screencast I recorded showing the behavior of the dead zone area. Notice how middle-clicking in my case triggers the rotate cube event, while it should just paste from one of the clipboards. Also, I've submitted bug #777964 attaching apport-collected files, that I don't know how to link here.

This happens with both Unity and Classic Desktop. Attached is a screencast showing the behavior when using the mouse middle-click (that in my case triggers the Rotate Cube Desktop compiz effect). + Of course, when the mouse is on this wormhole area, it won't interact with the current window's controls or objects, making this one of the most annoying bugs one could encounter. + + Original description: Binary package hint: light-themes I have a lot of windows in windows in witch GTK widgets are blocked ( buttons, scrollbars... evrything unclickable), but I usually can navigate in it using keyboard (usually). SOmetimes, the windows controls are blocked too, so I must use Alt+f4 This seems to happen only with default ambiance theme and Unity (I didn't have problem with my session using thr Macbuntu GTK theme). In the same time, gnome-control center have been uninstalled ( do not know when, it happen alone), so I wasn't able to access to gnome- appearance-properties. I reinstalled it, problem is still here ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: light-themes 0.1.8.10 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-7.38-generic 2.6.38 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-7-generic i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Wed Mar 23 17:41:01 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release i386 (20101007) ProcEnviron: - LANGUAGE=fr_FR:en - LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANGUAGE=fr_FR:en + LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: light-themes UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to natty on 2011-03-19 (4 days ago) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741112 Title: Dead zone on the screen -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
