Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Hi!
I have an intermittent issue with nautilus, and have finally been able
to find the sequence of events to cause it. It seems that during use,
my PC will stop responding to Icon clicks on the desktop. I can draw a
select box around them, and I can right click on the desktop, but I
can't right or left-click the icons. I am able to work normally other
than this, and the gnome-panels all remain responsive. The only way to
run icons from the desktop is to open a places window of the desktop,
and run them from there, or kill nautilus and wait for it to respawn.
Steps to reproduce:
>From the desktop, draw a box around an empty area of the desktop, and then
>draw an area around another empty section of the desktop. Then try to click
>on a desktop icon. Your click event is ignored, and two tiny artifacts of the
>select boxes remain visible on the screen.
Note: I thought this might be a duplicate of Bug #164996, but I
disabled all of the inputdevices sections in my xorg.conf except for
Synaptic (Touchpad) and the keyboard, and still experience the behavior.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Nautilus 1.2.22.0
Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy (Development Release)
It's worth noting that I have experienced this since upgrading to Hardy,
so it's not a recent bug. I cannot say if it happened in Gutsy.
