I just experienced this problem on my Lenovo ThinkPad X200, using the laptop keyboard and a Logitech M705 USB mouse. - Menus in the Gnome panel were highlighted, but would not open. - I could click to change, open or close Chrome tabs, but not click on text fields etc. or switch to other applications. - Scroll buttons and some keyboard shortcuts (like <Super><Button5> to rotate Compiz cube) still worked and I could switch to a console (<Ctrl><Alt><F1>) and reboot the system.
I have no idea what caused this and no traces in dmesg, /var/log/messages nor /var/log/Xorg.0.log. It happened as I was using gvim, trying to figure out some builtin keyboard-shortcuts. -- Mouse and keyboard become unresponsive on Asus Eee PC 1005HA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569354 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
