[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 41301] Re: Mouse clicks stop working sporadically
In the hope of getting the importance of this bug raised I'd like to add that this bug is now stopping me from updating using the update manager. When it tries to open the authentication dialog box I get an alert window Cannot grab Mouse. The only thing I can do then is close it with Alt-F4. Update manager then goes back and refreshes the package list and no update occurs. -- Mouse clicks stop working sporadically https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 41301] Re: Mouse clicks stop working sporadically
This bug has been effecting me for a very long time, over a number of different versions of Ubuntu (currently running 10.04.1) Something has changed recently however. When I initially encountered the problem, which was about a year ago it occurred quite frequently. I found a workaround which for some reason made it occur less often. That is have the system automagically log in to my guest account, then I log out and log in as me. (In this instance the guest account was effected by the bug, but I immediately logged out and thus was not a problem). Using this work around I've only had the problem on rare occasions over the last ~6 months+ (tbh I can't really recall the time frame, but it's been a long time). When it did occur I just logged out and back in and the problem was usually (but not always) resolved. Sometimes I had to resort to alt-F1 a terminal login as root and reboot. However sometime over the last week or two I've performed an update which has changed things dramatically. My workaround no longer works and the problem occurs with a far greater frequency. I can usually right click the last component I used (the one that has stolen the focus) bring up a context menu and the problem is resolved temporarily. Once it starts though it keeps re-occurring until I reboot. I note that as I type this the bug is currently in effect and that I notice nothing unusual in Bubble Monitor running in my panel; ie CPU, swap and memory use all appear normal and not under any strain. -- Mouse clicks stop working sporadically https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

While I am not the OP I am definately effected by this bug and still am. It's a problem for me with a fully to date 9.04 installation. - latest kernel etc. However its end of semester atm and I haven't had time to run the latest live CD. Exams finish for me Friday week. I will install 9.10 after that. Please re-open this bug and I will attend to above request as soon as I can.
