When this happens, I can move the mouse around but cannot click on anything in Firefox or anywhere else in the Ubuntu GUI. I can still use some (not all) keyboard navigation, but the mouse pointer seems to be permanently locked. Firefox needs to be killed so that the mouse cursor can be used again. I can reproduce it fairly consistently in the old blogger post-edition interface: all I have to do is to select a block of text, click the "insert link" button, and then try to scroll with the mouse wheel. It seems to happen in different circumstances for other users as well, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2004378 for an overview. firefox: Installed: 13.0+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 Candidate: 13.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 Version table: 13.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 0 500 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Packages *** 13.0+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages Description: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS Release: 10.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1017913/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
