Yesterday afternoon, both Chrome and Chromium started behaving oddly. When I drag a tab out of it's parent window to create a new window (this is something I do a lot, every day), it works normally until I release the mouse button. Then, instead of staying where it's put the new window will follow the mouse cursor around the desktop anytime Chrom(e|ium) has focus. If I move the mouse quickly, the window will lag behind enough to loose focus, and then the new window will stay put -- as long as Chrom(e|ium) doesn't have focus. But if I move the mouse back to the original window, the new one will jump back to the new window and merge with it. If I move the mouse back to the new window, it will again start following the mouse cursor around the desktop.
There also seems to be a limit on how far I can initially drag the new window before it gets "stuck" and I have to release the mouse buttin, grab the banner and drag it further. If I press ctrl-alt-backspace this behavior will stop, and the new window will behave normally. If I right-click on a tab and select "Move tab to new window" the new window will behave normally. No other application seem to have a similar problem. I'm not aware of any changes in configuration in the past few days, and it's been three days since the last emerge. The window manager is openbox, and it's been untouched for at least two months. I've logged out, restarted X11, and even rebooted, and Chrome's odd behavior persists. Any suggestions on how to diagnose/fix this? -- Grant
