Here is a test setup: (1) install ubuntu-clock app (2) modify /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/ubuntu.session to remove the 'compiz;' entry so compiz gets started by upstart instead of gnome-session (3) modify /usr/share/upstart/session/unity7.conf to add the following lines in the pre-start script stanza: initctl set-env --global GEIS_DEBUG=3 initctl set-env --global GRAIL_DEBUG=-1 (4) log in to Unity, start the clock app and touch it anywhere in the window

According to the XInput2 documentation, this should forward the TouchBegin to the clock, which should then do with it what it will. The clock should not be receiving emulated pointer events, because according to the XInput2 documentation, if Touch events are explicitly selected, pointer emulation is disabled for that client. It looks like either (a) the X server is in pointer emulation mode and never leaves, or (b) the client is doing some sort of grab on the touch (there is no evidence of this in the code) and not releasing it. Deeper analysis of the client-server conversations is required to further analyse the exact combination of sequences here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

To reproduce: 1) On a desktop/laptop with a touchscreen (I am using a Dell XPS13), install 14.04 and check that the touchscreen works for moving windows 2) Install the camera-app package from universe (I have 2.9.1+14.04.20140331-0ubuntu1) 3) Launch the camera app 4) Touch once inside the camera-app window 5) Use the touchscreen to drag the camera-app window Expected results: You can move the camera-app window using the touchscreen Actual results: You cannot move the camera-app window, or perform any other touch tasks in unity, with the touchscreen This only affects touchscreen input - mouse/touchpad input is not affected This affects all apps written with the SDK (I tried camera-app, gallery-app, reminders-app). It's 100% reproducible.
