oh, I've never seen this Qubes-win7 ghost bug version before, maybe it's because I didn't find time yet to re-install my Win7 and just kept my old Win7 from Qubes 3.2. for the time being. I do encounter another mouse bug though, which you "might" encounter too given you mention mouse button issues as well. It makes the left/right mouse buttons unresponsive, but that's just that, nothing else happens in this bug, no ghosting or odd behaviours, all it does is right/left buttons stop working. If you ever encounter it too, then try use the middle-click button, which should instantly bring your mouse's left/right buttons back again too (quick easy fix, but it can happen up to multiple times a day though). Chances are the ghost bug is an entirely different bug though, but if you ever discover this one, try middle-mouse. If you're on mouse-pad, some have a middle button in-between there, despite it not being visible. Perhaps other keys can trick it back as well. Unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about the ghost bug though, I've never seen it my self. I suspect it might be the Qubes mouse driver though, maybe it can be modified by changing Window's behavior a bit in regedit or something akin to that, i.e. maybe some feature needs to be disable/enabled/changed-value (it's a possible scenario imho, question is how to find such speculative information). awokd's hack looks really interesting too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
