Public bug reported: With a fresh install of Natty, I often have small, invisible, seemingly- randomly-positioned mouse "dead spots", where the cursor becomes the arrow (regardless of what's underneath), and any interaction (clicks, mouse moves and scrolls) are not forwarded to the application underneath. This often results in having to move the application window to get the content I want out of the deadspot.
The dead spots are consistent between programs (currently Chromium, Netbeans 7.0, and the Ubuntu Software Center). There is a thread on the forums of other users with similar problems, but I could not find an associated bug report. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743026 Attempts to use ubuntu-bug with the -w option to identify one of the dead spots returns a "xprop failed to determine process ID of the window". Even when the dead spot is over an application that can otherwise be identified (i.e., repeating the ubuntu-bug -w and clicking slightly to the left of the dead-spot seems to correctly identify that I'm clicking on the Ubuntu Software Center.) ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773533 Title: Mouse Dead Spots -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
