[Desktop-packages] [Bug 402892] Re: Mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag and drop" mode
Steps to reproduce: This is a video of how to reproduce it: https://emalm.com/?v=DsBSK 1. Go to google.com 2. Click the Google logo, move the logo as little as possible but enough to cause dragging and then release as soon as possible after you see that your mouse started dragging. Eventually you could just do it extremely quickly like in the video: https://emalm.com/?v=DsBSK 3. Sometimes the cursor would get stuck in the drag mode with the Google logo attached to it (even though the mouse button is no longer pressed). It usually requires a lot of attempts to reproduce. It's reproducible on 20.04 and 21.10 Wayland. It's reproducible in Chrome, Firefox title bar, some other programs. It makes the mouse unusable. I'm absolutely certain that it's not an issue with the mouse (I've researched and tested everything thoroughly). I've verified the release event is received via xinput --test-xi2 --root, verified that this doesn't affect non-draggable things (like mousedown / mouseup Javascript events), verified with another input device (graphics tablet), where it also happens. I've tested different kernels: 5.4, 5.11, 5.13 and this bug exists on all of them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402892 Title: Mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag and drop" mode Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New Status in X.Org X server: New Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in rapidsvn package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: rapidsvn When clicking on the Bookmark root or on one of the bookmarks below the mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag n drop" mode, blocking all keyboard entry and also mouse clicks for the the whole GUI (systemwide).

I can reproduce it on Live CDs: 20.04 21.10 Wayland. So it doesn't seem to be a problem with Xorg, but maybe something more low-level. This bug requires immediate attention!

I'm adding the following, so searches of this symptom will also find this thread: Once the bug is triggered, it also repeatably affects LibreOffice Calc - if you click-select a worksheet tab or drag-select a set of cells then release mouse, it enters drag-and-drop mode, and (strangely) draws a thick border around the selection, which you cannot undo or reformat.

Happens very frequently for me also on a vanilla 18.04 (Thinkpad), but only on a small subset of applications. What's strange is that the bug appeared a few days ago after years without problem. I do not use any external peripheral (nothing connected to the laptop except the power supply). An easy solution to solve this without rebooting the whole system is to disable then enable the TouchScreen (disabling alone is not sufficient). Following Paul Müller's steps: - find your TouchScreen input ID with ``xinput`` (in my case ``Melfas LGDisplay Incell Touch id=9`` - ``xinput --disable 9`` - ``xinput --enable 9`` If you want to automate this in a script/alias, you can easily retrieve the ID once you know the name of the TouchScreen: - ``xinput list --id-only 'Melfas LGDisplay Incell Touch'`` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402892 Title: Mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag and drop" mode Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New Status in X.Org X server: New Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in rapidsvn package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: rapidsvn When clicking on the Bookmark root or on one of the bookmarks below the mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag n drop" mode, blocking all keyboard entry and also mouse clicks for the the whole GUI (systemwide).

I discovered a way to consistently trigger this. I don't know if all these steps are necessary, but it works for me consistently this way. Configuration: - Ubuntu MATE 20.10 - caja version 1.24.0 - Evolution version 3.38.1-1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. In Evolution, open the 'Compose Message' window. I have it set by default to 'Plain Text' editing mode, and attachment bar collapsed. 2. Open caja and navigate to the desired file. 3. drag & drop the file in the message body. This should result in the full file path URI being displayed as the message. 4. press `CTRL+Z` (Undo). 5. Now drag the same file again, over the message body, into the (collapsed) attachment bar. 6.

Same problem here. System: Mint 18.3 with kernel 4.15.0-55-generic (Problem seems not to be dependent on kernel version. Had this effect with earlier kernel versions too) Desktop: MATE with lightdm Reproduction: Open two folders in default file manager of mate. Then drag files from one folder to another folder in a seperate window while pressing the shift key. After ~ 10 files copied the problem occurs. Reproduction 2: Open a folder and drag and drop files (small .mp4 video clips) from a folder to XPlayer (Medienwiedergabe). Problem occurs after around 10 files or sooner. (VLC seems to run fine though). Mouse can be moved but klicks do not work. No left, right, middle, scrolling ... nothing. Keyboard works fine. Unplugging and plugging mouse does not help. How to solve the problem: Reboot. Nothing else worked for me. Monitor has no touch screen. "Gesettings" command did not help. Killing nautilus, file-roller, rapidsvn, nautilus-desktop, nemo is not applicable (but still tried it) and/but did not help too.

The same happens for me, all the way on Ubuntu 17.10 x64.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 402892] Re: Mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag and drop" mode
Update from previous comment: I was able to get the gnome environment into this erroneous state by using the aforementioned `Super + FN + UP/DN` shortcut to move back and forth between my workspaces. At this point I think it's reasonable to call this bug reproducible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402892 Title: Mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag and drop" mode Status in X.Org X server: New Status in chromium package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in rapidsvn package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: rapidsvn When clicking on the Bookmark root or on one of the bookmarks below the mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag n drop" mode, blocking all keyboard entry and also mouse clicks for the the whole GUI (systemwide).

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 402892] Re: Mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag and drop" mode
New information: I've been using my ubuntu installation for several days since I posted my last comment, and had not encountered the bug until I used the `Super + FN + Up Arrow`/`Super + FN + Down Arrow` to change workspaces. As soon as I did that, the bug returned.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 402892] Re: Mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag and drop" mode
I disabled the touchscreen by adding `blacklist hid-multitouch` to `/etc/modprobe.d/hid_multitouch.conf`, rebooted, and within 15 minutes the bug was back. It appears as though the super key gets "stuck". * I have super + e bound to open nautilus, and if I press e when my computer gets into this state, it does indeed open nautilus. * The behavior of the mouse when holding down `super` is consistent with the described behavior. Please advise as soon as possible. This bug has rendered my linux installation unusable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402892 Title: Mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag and drop" mode Status in X.Org X server: New Status in chromium package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in rapidsvn package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: rapidsvn When clicking on the Bookmark root or on one of the bookmarks below the mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag n drop" mode, blocking all keyboard entry and also mouse clicks for the the whole GUI (systemwide).

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 402892] Re: Mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag and drop" mode
Same problem on Lubuntu 14.04 Touchscreen: (MasterTouch MT-500 USB), supports only single touch. Mouse not connected. problem appears in next apps: - Chromium: 62.0.3202.75 - Firefox 28.0 Sometimes MouseUp just not firing: https://prnt.sc/hefody then i close Chromium / Firefox with ALT+F4 but mouse still stuck in "MouseDown" state _systemwide_ : https://www.dropbox.com/s/bf57bg47f3zsq2m/test.mp4?dl=0 Even if I connect the mouse to the computer after the problem occurs - the left mouse button will not work. But mtpaint works fine! There is some difference in how mtpaint and (chromium, firefox) works with mousedown / mouseup events. Any ideas? I need use touchscreen and don't need mouse. So i can't disable the touchscreen as recommended, because this will make the whole system unusable.
