Public bug reported: Binary package hint: emacs22
Emacs periodically grabs cursor focus and refuses to release it, causing the rest of the GNOME environment to be unreachable and thus unusable. Open applications continue to run (evidenced by, say, System Monitor), and the mouse cursor is free, but the Emacs window retains focus and no other windows or panel objects respond to the cursor or to keyboard events. It is possible to kill the Emacs process by switching to another vt with Ctrl-Alt-Fn or to kill the X session entirely with Ctrl- Alt-Bckspc. This has been reported by several other users at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=327611 although I cannot verify that I can reproduce the bug under the exact same set of circumstances that the others have. For me, it appears to be random. ** Affects: emacs22 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Emacs hangs GNOME https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183245 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
