Public bug reported: What is happening:
Since an upgrade to Jaunty (both via dist-upgrade and complete fresh install), after some time input events will begin to malfunction. For example, the 'super' key will cease to function, and mouse clicks will not match the current pointer position. Expected behavior: Keys carry on responding, and mouse click events are fired off with the correct co-ordinates, matching the current pointer position. How to reproduce: Unsure, as it is unclear what causes the behavior. HAL is running and a restart has no effect. A restart of the x-server (either gdm restart or via xerver kill hotkey) solves the issue until the next time it happens. Other observations: - Sometimes hotkeys will fail to function as well, such as alt+space, alt+tab etc. At the same time other hotkeys such as alt+f2 and multimedia keys (e.g. volumne up/down) will still function. - When mouse clicks do not match the pointer position, they remain 'stuck' at the same co-ordinates of the last successful click. While the mouse cursor still moves, the location of the click events does not. Also, hover events fail to fire off except for those which occur within the same window control (e.g. address bar, text area, dialog) as that which is receiving the click events. - This occurs with compiz both enabled, and disabled - No logs show any errors (syslog,dmesg,Xorg.0,messages,debug) about any failures or errors at the time inputs malfunction. - The recent kernel update (9th May) had no effect on the issue - The input devices are USB decives. In my case, it is a wireless mouse/keyboard combination - Hotplugging the receiver into either a new or same USB port does not resolve the issue - The malfunctions did not occur in Intrepid, only in Jaunty - A right click on the control(i.e. desktop/tab/panel/address bar) temporarily resolves the mis-alignment of click events, but this only lasts for 1 click, and requires that a content-menu is available at that location which is still receiving the events. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: event focus input jaunty lost stuck -- Incorrect or lost input device events https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374417 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
