I have been using different version of Kubuntu for the past 3 years without issues. Last week I formatted my drive and installed Kubuntu 12.10. Since then I have been having the exact same issues as described in the bug description.
KDE 4.9.3 Xorg 11.0 synaptiks 0.8.1 Dell Vostro 1500 laptop (with what I believe is a synaptics touchpad) Logitech G5 USB mouse Kensington Expert Mouse The problem is totally random. I have been unable to find a trigger to replicate it. Likewise, I have tried many methods to regain correct focus, but with different success. Sometimes the focus is freed simply by clicking somewhere else, sometimes I can free it by switching to console and then back, while sometimes I have to relog. The problem often happen right after boot, and locks to Thunderbird, which is the first window to open. Relogging will make the problem go away, but can come back at any moment. It can be hours or seconds before the focus gets stuck again. I looked at the logs, but nothing gets printed when the bug appears or go away. I can give more information if asked. The bug has been reported at many level, but since the source cause seems not known even after all these years, I will simply copy/paste this message everywhere. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26213 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265734 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/362359 ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #26213 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26213 ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #265734 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265734 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/375905 Title: Mouse focus gets stuck over control objects To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-driver-synaptics/+bug/375905/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
