[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1181666] Re: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse clicks from working in app windows
After days of fresh reinstallations and tests, I finally found what was causing this on my end and finally solved it by using a xorg configuration override 10-evdev.conf as shown on [1] Offender: Gaming mouse driver (Saitek Cyborg R.A.T.9 Wireless Mouse) Driver: libinput After a bit of research, I found that this mouse is known to be malfunctioning with the default settings on Xorg.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1181666] Re: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse clicks from working in app windows
Oh no the bug happens again with the desktop icons properly set, so it is not the root cause, pfff I'm setting up at work and home the same Linux setup, at home this is the focus bug fest, at work the bug never happened a single time ! Every click success and I do not have the problems I have at home The only difference I have from home and work in my setups are - At work I'm under a proxy, at home direct - At work the display are 1 graphic card intel and using Mesa if I remember, while at home i'm on nvidia latest drivers and 2 graphic cards - At work I'm on two displays, at home a gsync single display - I don't much extensions than what is installed by default on pacman -S gnome gdm cinnamon nemo I suspect this bug to be driver related, maybe driver and icon rendering problem, but understand that fixing bugs without any relevant log is like searching for a needle in a haystack :/ If I could help feel free to ask cause I believe I could find the root cause with 2 similar setup on 2 different hardware acting differently ! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181666 Title: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse clicks from working in app windows Status in GNOME Shell: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Under GNOME 3, the use of the mouse-click stops occasionally, though I can still move the mouse around and can still click on items in the Activities screen and the top-bar.
