Title:
Mouse events fail frequently and unpredictably, requiring kwin restart
Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace
There is confusion between a number of related bugs (which didn't show
up for me in "Do any of the following bugs..."). Bug #478464 seems
most similar to this but that's dubiously marked as a duplicate of bug
#41301.
DESCRIPTION
It occurs within a few minutes (usually sooner) after starting KDE or
restarting kwin with "kwin --replace". The mouse cursor continues to move where
it should, but clicking either does nothing or affects an unexpected (inactive)
window, and gestures such as pushing into the desktop corners also do nothing.
It's as if kwin thinks the mouse cursor is frozen somewhere other than where it
appears.
Everything other than mouse events continues to work as expected:
controlling KDE with keyboard shortcuts shows that applications,
compositing and desktop effects are all fine.
[Edit: it is NOT as if a phantom window/app is grabbing the mouse
events, because as stated above, clicks occasionally still affect a
real window for a short while, even if it's an inactive one.]
WORKAROUND
Restart kwin with "kwin --replace".
None of the workarounds mentioned in the discussion for bug #41301
work for this, which is why I think it's different.
BACKGROUND
I'm not running Xinerama or dual screens, I have a USB mouse which works
perfectly on my other machine, my Kubuntu 9.10 retains most of its default
settings, windows are set to "Click to Focus", and my graphics card is nVidia
GeForce 6100 with the nvidia-glx-185 driver.
I run regular apt updates, and first noticed this bug on 8 Jan 2010,
having run KDE with very few problems for several months. I think the
automatic updates on 8 Jan were for Firefox and GIMP (upgrades), but
this bug occurs whether or not Firefox or GIMP are running. I have not
made any configuration changes recently.
