OK, further information: I can trigger it with most of the special keys on the keyboard--documents, home, favourites, play/pause, mute, zoom in... The only ones I've so far found that don't do it are five numbered buttons, and trying to assign those to shortcuts suggests that Ubuntu doesn't recognise them at all. I see the right click menu when I first press one of the buttons that triggers it, then clicks (and scroll wheel movements) stop doing anything. The normal effects of hovering over items, i.e. highlights, tooltips, also don't happen.
It may be unrelated, but in the 'custom shortcuts' module in system settings, there's a checkbox for "Start input actions daemon on login." This is checked, so I tried unchecking it and restarting, but it's checked again when I go back to it. ** Summary changed: - Stops responding to mouse clicks + Keyboard special keys interfere with mouse -- Keyboard special keys interfere with mouse https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/636311 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
