Alright, terribly annoying bug that gets me to reboot several times a
day, but very hard to understand how to trigger it.
What happens: after some time of usage, you get "stuck" in a window. Idem est,
you can not select another window.
You can still click, select and drag in the window that has the focus, but
clicking on other windows, or on the panel, just doesn't work.
Notes:
- With window I don't mean "application window". For example it can only be the
page view in firefox, and you won't be able to click the buttons or the URL
field. It can also be the main text window in xchat, and you wont be able to
click in the user list or to change the chatroom.
- The click seems to be grabbed by the window having the focus, even if you
click outside of it. For example, using xchat, if the main text window has
focus, clicking and dragging in the user list will actually select text in the
main text window.
- Using xev, it seems that clics do not get passed to the correct window at all
(nothing received)
- I have no idea what triggers this as sometimes it will trigger alone - pc
works, I leave it for an hour, I come back, the problem is triggered
- Curious effect now: dragging and dropping to another window gives focus to
the window, and seems to be the only way to do so. For example if in firefox
the main page view window has the focus and I cant click the buttons, drag and
dropping text to the buttons gives the focus to the buttons, and I can't clic
the page view window anymore. Drag and dropping a button to the page view
window gives it its focus back....
Additional info:
* Compiz disabled
* Intel graphic card
* Ubuntu jaunty - latest patches
* Using a laptop, with an USB mouse
HAL, xserver, I have no idea where to file this bug into. I hope it will be
fixed before the release, it is really terribly annoying :s
Please tell me if there is any other detail I can provide.
