Public bug reported:
Mouse clicks not working *only* in the application launcher and the menu
bar.
I recently switched from an HDD to a SSD and installed a fresh Ubuntu
14.04.4 (64 bits). Everything ran smoothly. The only problem I have now
prior to before is the mouse clicks randomly not working *only* in the
application launcher and the menu bar. It works normally in applications
already opened and the desktop, so it's clearly not a mouse-related
hardware issue. Hovering over menu items on the top-right (calendar,
rotary menu, sound) shows nothing.
The only solution I found is to close the session and reopen it. Not a
big deal for a seasoned user, but a real problem for newcomers to
Ubuntu/Linux.
Going from X to a terminal and back ([Alt][F1] then [Alt][F7]) does not
make the left click come back.
If there are no applications opened, I have to resort to [Ctl][Alt][Del]
and exit the session. The
Any thoughts anyone?
