Public bug reported: Issue: Desktop is not responding to any clicks, I cannot click any icon with either left or right mouse button. Furthermore I cannot log out using the upper menu, after clicking 'logout' nothing happens. If I lock the screen and unlock, the issue still persists. Toolbars work, so I can reboot the system, use the ubuntu launcher and the icons on the toolbar.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Click an icon to start any long-starting application (in my case it was vscode). 2. Click on an item on the desktop, press SHIFT+DEL. The confirmation dialog appears 'are you sure you want to delete...?' 3. The long-starting application pops up, covering the whole screen. 4. Minimize the application window. Afterwards the confirmation dialog is not reachable, it's not visible any more, and desktop is unresponsive. Expected: The confirmation dialog should be visible when I minimize the application. My system: Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Release: 16.04 System is up-to-date. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: desktop -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1736374 Title: cannot click desktop icons when 'delete confirmation dialog' was covered by starting application To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1736374/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
