[Bug 505494] Re: Mouse events fail frequently and unpredictably, requiring kwin restart
Patrick Dawkins, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-evdev REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

[Bug 505494] Re: Mouse events fail frequently and unpredictably, requiring kwin restart
Same here, all the clicks go to the previously focused window until right clicked (in a way that it will be registered in the previous window, clicking outside doesn't help), then the clicks are registered in the new window only. Closing previous window helps. e.g.: chrome with gmail opened in a tab, going to another desktop/alt-tabbing to another window, clicking inside the shown window registers clicks in gmail, right-clicking where emails list suppose to be registers in gmail and doesn't release the lock clicking somewhere in the body or where chrome tabs/menus suppose to be pops-up a context menu and releases the lock, closing/killing chrome helps too. All the clicks after that register in the new window only... Another scenario: when in not-maximized window, alt-tabbing/going to another desktop, clicking - all the clicks register in the previous window, right-clicking outside that window won't do anything, clicking inside releases the lock... I'm pretty much sure that the reason right-click helps is that it creates the context menu, which is a window itself. So when a new window created it gets the focus and mouse clicks go there, clicking anywhere else closes the menu and window is destroyed, releasing that way the lock. So any next window you click has the focus now...

By the way, I forgot to tell, that I encountered this bug on a fresh Natty 11.04 install with formated drive. Few second after loging in, the mouse events are not taken into account, leaving the focus where you clicked before the bug triggers. Then the mouse is like a cooling unit in the artic. It moves but click will not have any effect. kwin --replace will give an extra 5 sec of functionnality before going back to buggy state. if anyhow I want to logout/reboot/shutdown, X seems to hang for ever on a black screen. Then I ctrl+alt+F1 killall Xorg, and finally the Logout/reboot/shutdown go on and do what is expected.

[Bug 505494] Re: Mouse events fail frequently and unpredictably, requiring kwin restart
Since comment #18 we're talking about a different symptom to the original bug, although it looks like it could well be the same disease (it affects both KDE and GNOME). I occasionally get it after booting up, but then if I log out and log in again the problem goes away. So it might be something to do with a program running after logging in, or something to do with the CPU/memory load of such programs?

[Bug 505494] Re: Mouse events fail frequently and unpredictably, requiring kwin restart
This bug is happening all the time (I'm using Alt+F2 then kwin --replace more or less every time I want to use the mouse) which is quite frustrating. It's still unpredictable though. I have tried disabling compositing and changing various display options, and I've tried keeping an eye on what processes are running when the mouse events fail - this yields no clues for me. -- Mouse events fail frequently and unpredictably, requiring kwin restart https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505494 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
