[Bug 1181666] Re: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse clicks from working in app windows
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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1181666] Re: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse clicks from working in app windows
If there were any "crashes" then indeed using a Xorg session you would not notice them, because gnome-shell on Xorg can restart seamlessly and your apps are unaffected. That doesn't mean Wayland is crashing more often than Xorg, only that a Xorg session recovers better from gnome- shell crashes. But this bug is not about crashes. It's about app windows not responding to clicks while the shell does. So if you do experience that problem then we would like to know how to reproduce it. We probably don't want any discussions of crashes here because I don't think they will be relevant.

The same issue here in Fedora32 gnome-shell 3.36.5. Alt+F2->(r) fixes the issue for a while, but in some time it comes back. The mouse clicks are inactive in the middle of the screen (horizontally), but seem to work correctly on the left and right. For example in Chrome with 29 tabs opened, first 11 tabs get correctly activated with the left click. The tabs 12-20 are immune to the click and 21+ get again activated correctly. of course the same thing happens in the other apps. For example windows cannot be dragged when clicked within the 'dead' are, however when clicked in first ~30% or last ~30% (horizontally) they are dragged as expected.

After days of fresh reinstallations and tests, I finally found what was causing this on my end and finally solved it by using a xorg configuration override 10-evdev.conf as shown on [1] Offender: Gaming mouse driver (Saitek Cyborg R.A.T.9 Wireless Mouse) Driver: libinput After a bit of research, I found that this mouse is known to be malfunctioning with the default settings on Xorg. Despite working at a first look, the default configuration is causing the below symptoms as explained by [2] After being plugged, the mouse will seems to work, but you may experience different issues : * You cannot move windows around when grabbing the window's title bar. (happens with Openbox and other Window manager) * You cannot click on buttons. * You cannot get the focus on windows. * You cannot open menus, even with keyboard shortcuts. * Display does not refresh (using Xcompmgr) * Closing certain windows restores functionality until the mouse locks into a new window.

[Bug 1181666] Re: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse clicks from working in app windows
To expand on what Daniel said: 1. Start with one extension and remove it from Gnome Tweak Tools or the GNOME Shell Extensions web site: https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ 2. Restart GNOME Shell with ALT+F2, type in r then hit enter 3. If don't experience this bug for a few hours or days (days would be preferred) let us know in this bug report and which extension you completely removed. Perhaps we can narrow down on the problematic extension this way, if it is actually an extension. 4. If you still hit this bug a few minutes or hours later, logout from your session completely and try use the desktop for a few days. If you still have this problem try the next extension and repeat 1-3. If you have no more extensions installed and the error occurs, please consider filing a new bug report as soon as possible with ubuntu-bug gnome-shell and link the new bug report as a comment in this bug report.

Hello anybody. Yes a has same issue too - it happens because an of running application was hung up. System detect it and show pop - up message in the middle of screen about waiting or force closing hung application. More often it happens during debugging an application, when break point was raised and debugger waiting user action so system count this application as hang. Some times it happens so system detect hung application but some reason can't show popup message over hang application. It looks so like wrote on first post - blocking mouse input at any windows except application bar and gnome dashboard. In some application keyboard become locked too, for exaple in Eclipse. Usually i switch to each application and try to interact with it by keyboard typing. If i suspect application hang, i run or switch to gnome-terminal and use command top to detect process id of hang application. Then i found it i use sudo kill As is hang application was closed - normal mouse input will restored. But main question conclude to how to change reaction of system on hanged application - turn off annoing modal dialog. This dialog so bore me a lot. Each time when break point occur during debug process, Unubtu pop up this modal dialog and lock all mouse input in other apps, include debugger too. I need to switch debugging app and press "Wait" in this popup message, some times it need to do more than once. Then I return to debugger continue work.

[Bug 1181666] Re: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse clicks from working in app windows
Ok, I solved the problem in my case. Given it seemed to be a communication problem I go the idea it could be ownership of sockets. I found various folders in my home directory were not owned by my local user and/or were not readable. Root owned .dbus and .gvfs, below .local were files/folders owned by me but without read/write permission. I did a "chmod u+rw -R ~.local" and "sudo chown -R [myuser]:[myusergroup] /home/[myuser]" and a reboot and so far no problems since a few hours. Maybe it would be a good idea to check for that once in a while. There may be valid reasons of not-user-owned folders or files, but probably a warning message would help. Also I believe everything below .local should be read-writeable for the user and owned by it.

[Bug 1181666] Re: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse clicks from working in app windows
Since yesterday I am also massively affected by this issue (Ubuntu 19.04, Dell Latitude 7280). The mouse buttons 'stop working' every few minutes, making working for me very tiresome. The only gnome extensions I have active are the frippery move clock, system monitor and desktop icons. Shortly before I installed/updated the following packages: evolution-plugins-experimental:amd64 3.32.1-2 libgmime-2.6-0:amd64 2.6.23+dfsg1-4 pan:amd64 0.145-1 libgmime-2.6-0:amd64 2.6.23+dfsg1-4 mime-support:all 3.60ubuntu1 hicolor-icon-theme:all 0.17-2 gnome-menus:amd64 3.32.0-1ubuntu1 libc-bin:amd64 2.29-0ubuntu2 man-db:amd64 2.8.5-2 desktop-file-utils:amd64 0.23-4ubuntu1 Maybe that is related, maybe the bug was dormant before, I do not know. Today, investigating the bug I noticed the following: * if the bug happens while the mouse is still over an item that can register a mouse click, I can still press the mouse button and the click will be registered. * I can still cycle the windows with alt-tab and the newly selected window will get the keyboard input, but the old window that was active when the bug happens will still get the mouse click. * if the bug happens when I click on the dock, then the mouse carries with it the program icon from the dock, and if I press "Esc" then to stop that, mouse seem not to do anything * "gnome-shell -r" helps for a few minutes, sometimes waiting a minute doing nothing helps, sometimes switching to console and back helps for a few minutes. * no hardware problem. Mouse works fine on a mac, touchpad shows the same issues as the mouse on ubuntu. Or, maybe more importantly to understand where the bug is coming from: * just right now it happened again. I can still use the mouse only inside this edit window inside the html page rendered in firefox to select with double clicks or move the cursor, but if I click on other links or buttons in this firefox window nothing happens, not even in this same page. If I alt-tab to another window and click inside this edit box, I can move the cursor and select, but all keyboard input goes to the other window I selected by alt-tab. To continue writing here I need to alt-tab again to firefox. right-click does not seem to work though, only left-click. * using xdotool I see that mouse position and window get updated when I move the mouse So, to my untrained eye it seems it is a problem with selecting the correct item to send the mouse clicks to, because the clicks still get registered but are received by the wrong item on the screen (sorry for probably not using the correct terms here). It seems that when the bug happens the item that was under the mouse cursor at that time stays the one that receives the clicks independent of where the mouse cursor is. If that item does not react to mouse clicks or already has reacted (like the dock) it seems to the user that the mouse button is not working. -- 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1181666] Re: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse clicks from working in app windows
I can reliably reproduce this issue by clicking either Activities on the top bar, or by clicking "Show Applications" on the dock. With the latter, the Applications Search dialogue comes up, but no icons are shown for recent applications. All applications are shown as expected. Once the Search dialogue is displayed, I cannot close it. I can launch a program from the All page, and the application starts, but I cannot interact with it. If I switch into a console and kill the application, the search dialogue is still present. Like with other users, once the bug is triggered I cannot interact with anything on the screen except for items on the top bar situated on the right side of the screen (including the date and time at the center). To work around I have to switch to a console (Ctrl-Alt-F3), and 'pkill -9 gnome-shell', followed by 'DISPLAY=":0" gnome-shell'. I can then switch back to the graphical interface with Ctrl-Alt-F2. This *usually* works for me, but of course YMMV. I only noticed this bug when I upgraded my main machine today. I have another similar system which I updated a few weeks ago. In using that I experienced none of these issues. That system was updated today and it now shows the same behaviour, so whatever the bug is, it was introduced very recently. -- 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I am using 18.10 and I have not yet experienced this issue.

In 19.04, I am able to interact with the touch-screen using my fingers, and this issue has not appeared yet. Also, I never used workspace related extensions. So, it is possible that there are multiple issues here, that all have the same symptom.

[Bug 1181666] Re: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse clicks from working in app windows
I believe that I managed to fix this on my machine. I'd suggest to anyone having this issue to check for and uninstall any workspace- related extensions in gnome-tweaks. Read on for more detail. This problem appeared for me after updating to 19.04 from 18.10. Like everyone else, I could click on items in the top bar (date/time, dock icons) and they would respond as expected, but applications weren't responding to keyboard or mouse input. It seemed that pressing the super key was triggering this, as things would work more or less fine until the application switcher overlay thing was shown. After reading through this thread and seeing a lot of mentions of workspace extensions I remembered that I'd enabled the Workspace Grid extension via gnome-tweaks. Loading gnome-tweaks showed a warning indicator next to this extension, with a mouseover tooltip that read something to the effect of "problem loading extension."

[Bug 1181666] Re: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse clicks from working in app windows
I'm not sure whether my bug is the same one or even related in its underlying cause. A program that I've helped write is exhibiting a constant failure to respond to mouse clicks in one subwindow that is implemented by an embedded mozilla browser window inside a Mono C# program. Keyboard input to that window works fine, but mouse clicks on a button are ignored. This appears to be related to the main form and controls down to the one hosting the mozilla browser all receiving WM_KILLFOCUS messages shortly after receiving WM_FOCUS messages when first clicking inside the window. Other desktop environments / window managers do not have this behavior in either ignoring the mouse clicks or receiving the spurious looking WM_KILLFOCUS messages. (For example, Unity, Cinnamon, XFCE, LXDE, and MATE all work fine. Unfortunately, none of them are the default for Ubuntu 18.04 which is what many of our users are upgrading to.) The program can be found at https://github.com/BloomBooks/BloomDesktop for what it's worth. I know it's an unusual mix of C#, TypeScript, Pug, Less, etc. but it works fairly well under Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity or Cinnamon and under Ubuntu 18.04 with Cinnamon.

This bug has also started to appear for me. I found a quick temporary fix: Click on the top bar of the window and nouse clicks starts to work again. A possible factor that may caused problem to start appearing might be that i changed the font size from 12 to 10. The gnome do have lots of bugs so this isn't big surprise. Bugs like right scrollbar partly covering rightmost text character, dropdown list showing only one item (there are many), goetemp extension showing weather warnings always in german and the annoying font size change and rewrap when mouse hovering over a text block. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1181666] Re: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse clicks from working in app windows
Thanks @Daniel von Vugt for your comment. Meanwhile I experienced the issue again with the "Workspace Indicator" extension not being installed, so this cannot be the culprit in my case. Yet while trying to switch workspaces I briefly saw again that silly Psensor popup window "Authentication is required to update SMART data from /dev/sda". Quitting Psensor removed the blockage right away, to this is the extension to blame. Where/how best to report this apparent Psensor bug? I had already unticked Psensor's Preferences -> Providers -> 'Enable support of udisks2' (as suggested as a workaround elsewhere), but this did not help. Now I've also unticked Preferences -> Providers -> 'Enable support of hddtemp daemon'. Since meanwhile all HDD related sensors are disabled in the Psensor preferences I am rather confident that the very annoying blockage is gone. (If not, I'll uninstall Psensor, since Gnome 3 is unable to properly deal with its strange behavior.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1181666] Re: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse clicks from working in app windows
Yes, a shell should be able to survive misbehaving apps. If not then that's a (separate?) bug. I doubt gnome-shell will ever be able to survive buggy extensions. More likely the ability to load extensions would just be dropped. But that's not something being considered that I know of.

[Bug 1181666] Re: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse clicks from working in app windows
I just had again a similar problem with current Ubuntu and Gnome 3: mouse left clicks and terminal focus did not work. Alt-F2 including command input and Alt-tab worked but super-tab did not (maybe I use some non-standard setting here). I also had the "Workspace Indicator" (but not "Workspaces-to-dock") extension installed (which I meanwhile disabled just to be on the safe side). Yet I suspect that in my case the symptom was raised by an occasional and for the most time hidden psensor popup window "Authentication is required to update SMART data from /dev/sda" asking (for some weird reason) for root password input - see also https://forums.mauilinux.org/showthread.php?tid=24357 how to disable that) Not being able to use the system due to some bug is one of the worst user experiences. Such a thing drives people nuts and can easily destroy the reputation of Ubuntu/Gnome etc. A stable user interface should have high priority. I suggest re-designing gnome-shell such that it cannot be blocked by any (misbehaving) application or extension. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Update: I tested on Wayland and the problem persists. I also discovered that, if I move the mouse and wait at least 1 second before I press the button, the click is always computed.

[Bug 1181666] Re: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse clicks from working in app windows
Until I performed the last update on 2018-08-16, I was not experiencing this issue. Now I started to experience random mouse clicks misses with no apparent pattern, making the usage very annoying but not impossible. Usually I misses the first clicks right after I move the mouse to the desired position. Usually the first few clicks after I stop moving are ignored but if I insist pressing it, it is eventually computed. The mouse over events are working properly because links on the browser and button highlights change as expected so it appears that only the clicks are affected. The problem always happens when I switch applications using the mouse (the first click never works). The same happens when I activate a context menu. The only relevant package installed that day was linux- modules-4.15.0-32-generic but a few days earlier, gdm3 was also upgraded. I'm using bionic X64 with XOrg using RX480 with amdgpu-pro drivers and Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
