Public bug reported: After 20 mins or so of use the mouse pointer continues to move however the click out of the current window never seems to register. This leaves the current app in focus. I also can't use the keyboard to change focus. The interesting thing is some apps seem to keep responding to the mouse when it was currently focused. Other apps (Chrome in particular) don't respond. I guess its something to do with how they are structured from an X perspective.
I have found a work around switching to one of the other consoles via the Ctrl Alt F Keys then switching back. The system then works perfectly, however it will have the same issue a few minutes later. It seems to happen at startup frequently 50% roughly of the time it will look up in the first minute after booting. After that it happens every 20 minutes or so. Can't find any pattern to when it happens. It seems to happen at random and doesn't seem to matter which app has focus. I know its not a Compiz or Unity bug (as I originally thought) as Gnome Shell has the same issue. So as far as I can tell it means it must be an issue with Xorg itself. This originally occurred after an upgrade to 12.10. However 13:04 suffers the same issue. I have also done a reinstall of 12.10 which exhibits the same issue. ** Affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "The Xorg Log File" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1175279/+attachment/3661704/+files/Xorg.0.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1175279 Title: Focus gets stuck on the current application To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1175279/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
