Anybody else see this? It's happening at least 6 times a day, it's a
little annoying. It's happened a few times on my laptop (same 5.7
i386). It does happen without Firefox open but most of the time
that's open anyway so I've only caught the cursor problem without
Firefox a few times. Ctrl and any arrow gets out of it.
I remember having firefox snag a server grab like that in the past,
but that was a long while ago. 5.7 is out of support now; no one's
going to dig in its source when two releases have come out since then
and another will out in a month. Upgrade to at least 5.9, or better,
upgrade to 6.0 and report whether it's still a problem.

It still happens regularly on 5.9 (with all errata up to and including
July applied) as well. I felt that this was quite random actually and
there was no real explanation for it.
This occurs with either Firefox or Seamonkey open, but it will happen
randomly (such as when trying to select text from xterm, for example).
On another note, I also find it strange that there is no X -configure
option; I am trying to configure my touch pad to disable the annoying
tap-to-click feature; I feel this is partially the culprit in my case.
