OK, it happened again to me (on Gusty), while I was using Thunderbird and I was able to get more info. First interesting thing was that trying to run "xkill" gave me: xkill: unable to grab cursor That was interesting, because it occurred to me that the cursor was indeed grabbed by something else. What's interesting is that all the mouse events were going to the text area of my compose window. I could select text there and use the scrollwheel, but I could not click on anything outside that text area (not even buttons in the same window). Also, the keyboard didn't go there, so I couldn't actually type anything. After I managed to kill thunderbird and open a terminal, I ended up with an "interesting" situation: the keyboard focus was going to that terminal, but the mouse focus was actually going to the pager. For instance, despite having the mouse pointer inside the gnome-terminal window, if I used the scrollwheel, I would change desktop!
At that point, I thought it was a window manager issue, but restarting metacity didn't work. Normally, when the bug happens, I need to log out and log back in again to get things to work. This time, even when I was logging back in, the bug was triggered again very quickly (things worked for a few seconds and then stopped working) and I eventually had to reboot the machine. Note that at no time was I using rdesktop, so I don't think it's an rdesktop problem after all. Looks more and more like an xorg problem. Hope this helps finally resolve the problem. -- No more mouse events after using rdesktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/55739 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
