in Ubuntu 20.04; if my mouse is grabbed by a vm and I try to take a screenshot via "Screenshot" - default snipping tool in "Select area to grab" mode-, as I click the "Take Screenshot" button, my mouse icon switches to snip mode but then mode selection window reappears as pressed "ESC" button. In my experience, this behavior appears if your mouse drops to a vm which had already grabbed your mouse.
if you move your mouse to the top bar or side bar, your mouse icon switches to snip mode but it is false positive since when you click it just does not function. And if you click "Take Screenshot" button again, even you successfully take a snap, your click function that brings windows forward, disappears. So, lets say if I use double monitor and each has a window on the front. If I click other window to interact etc, it wont do any good. I can not get my keyboard and mouse in the focus of another window. Also at this point, I can not use top right bar features as well. What I can do is, use ALT+TAB to switch windows. And by this was, I can switch the focus and interact with my mouse and keyboard. I might remember wrong but this was not happening in 18.04. I hope this is fixed soon cuz I really get myself into this trap often, especially if I use double vm which I control each on different monitors. I must remember to use "CTRL+ALT" combo to let loose my mouse from vm's. This is the second VM related issue which I got this year. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181666 Title: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse clicks from working in app windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1181666/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
