Re: [Bug 362359] Re: Focus gets stuck to a window - impossible to select other windows
Hmm - for the past week I have been running Lucid (clean install from alt-installer) with attached Genius G-pen 509 tablet attached and wizardpen input driver. The problem has not recurred for me in that time. This is the same machine on which I observed the bug with Jaunty and my tablet. System: Intel Core i7, 6Gb RAM. Ubuntu Lucid x64, 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP, Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT, nvidia-current: 195.36.15-0ubuntu2 Compiz. Cheers, Glenn.
