Yep, repro works for me: Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rr2bWccOUu4 Steps: - Open Google Chrome - Right-click to open a context menu - Use the keyboard shortcut to trigger the gnome screenshot area UI - For me, that's CTRL-ALT-PrintScreen, but I my keybindings may be customized That's it, and it may take a couple tries, but these steps 100% reproduces it for me. Please let me know if it reproduces for you, and if I can provide more info. Notes: - It must be a Google Chrome window. Context menus on gnome-terminal and gimp block my keyboard shortcuts entirely, so I cannot screenshot those context menus, and cannot trigger the issue. - Using "shutter" to take the screenshot instead of gnome screenshot works.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 362359] Re: Focus gets stuck to a window - impossible to select other windows
This is happening to me now with Gnome on Ubuntu 22.04.3. I'm going to document all the behaviors I see, and I think I have reproduction steps (taking a screenshot when a context menu is open, maybe specifically with shutter), but I need to reboot to verify the exact steps. Observations while it is stuck: - Core issue: Window focus cannot be changed with the mouse. - But it can with the keyboard. Alt-Tab still works. - On the focused window: All mouse functions work: left / right / middle / wheel / hover - On other windows: ONLY hover and wheel (scroll) DO WORK. No clicks whatsoever - On the upper or lower gnome toolbars: nothing works. No clicks, no hovers. But the clock time is still correct, so they're "working" - If I tap META, it opens the activities ui, but no mouse functions work (click/hover/wheel), but I can hit TAB or start typing to search for an app to launch / use arrow keys to navigate the interface. - Regarding window adjustments (resize by borders, drag by title, close/maximize buttons) - Google Chrome responds differently than all other windows. I assume this is due to Chrome's custom window decorations. - Google Chrome can still be resized and dragged by title and closed / maximized / etc - Non-custom window decorations (gnome-terminal, gimp, shutter, vscode, Chrome's debug tools, etc) cannot be dragged, resized, or closed by their window decorations. - META-click to drag and resize does not work for any windows, Google Chrome included. - Changing workspaces with keyboard still works. When you do so, as always, one window in the new workspace is focused, so it's the only working window. - Running xev (and then closing it) did not fix it - Killing shutter did not fix it - Taking a second screenshot with shutter does not fix it. I think that's all I can observe, I'll reboot now, and edit / update if I can reproduce it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362359 Title: Focus gets stuck to a window - impossible to select other windows Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Alright, terribly annoying bug that gets me to reboot several times a day, but very hard to understand how to trigger it.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 362359] Re: Focus gets stuck to a window - impossible to select other windows
I thought I was losing my mind! I have also been experiencing this issue, and today finally managed to narrow it down to a specific cause. My issue starts when I am making use of the CTRL+SHIFT+PRTSCR shortcut to take a screenshot of an area you select. I use this function frequently, and it sometimes results in my mouse functionality being isolated to the window that currently has focus. If I move my mouse cursor over another window I can see that the window registers the mouse position (for example hover animations are triggered) and scrolling works, but left and right click do not register in that window until I use ALT+TAB to change focus to that window. If I hover my mouse pointer over the top bar, the pointer icon changes to a + which is the same icon that it changes to when you take the screenshot, so it seems almost like the screenshot overlay mechanism doesn't get reset/cleared correctly.

@arnfranke I just experienced it too last week. I'm using Ubuntu since 2015. Current mouse (trackball) I used from the beginning of 2020. It works with no issue with Ubuntu 18.04. Issue occurred just after last Ubuntu update (middle of August). Whats funny when I have my mouse/trackball plugged in I have this issue also with touchpad. When I remove mouse USB - everything works fine again. Another thing is that when I plug in other mouse or trackball - the issue is not present. It is just with single device. I also tried with another laptop with Ubuntu 18.04 (without update) I worked on it 2 hours - there were no issues. Then I just updated Ubuntu and restarted that second laptop and... issue occurred also on the second machine and again just after Ubuntu update. I'm mad, I love to work with my trackball but I cannot now. This behavior is so strange. Also when I unplug my trackball and plug it agan it works fine for 30-60 seconds and then issue occurred again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362359 Title: Focus gets stuck to a window - impossible to select other windows Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Alright, terribly annoying bug that gets me to reboot several times a day, but very hard to understand how to trigger it.

I just experienced this behavior with Ubuntu 20.04 (Gnome, X11, Nvidia GTX 1070). Only one window had focus. Some windows appeared in front of the focused window, but I could not click on them - clicking on them only sent mouse clicks to the window in the background. The "dots" in the dock that show what applications are open all disappeared, and if I moved my mouse over the apps then they became highlighted and wouldn't un-highlight.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 362359] Re: Focus gets stuck to a window - impossible to select other windows
Hi all, arch linux user with logitech wireless mouse, having the same problem. I tried using a different display server (weston on wayland) to make sure that it was an Xorg-specific bug, but on weston I couldn't click anything, so it's probably not X-related. I also tried switching between evdev and libinput and the problem persisted, so I'm thinking it goes deeper, probably kernel or drivers. To somewhat fix it, initially I was killing the first X (or wayland) server to appear (pkill -15 Xorg (on X) or alt-ctrl-backspace (weston)), then if I ran startx (or weston) again the mouse would work quite well. A better fix that I found later was installing and activating gpm (console mouse support). The gpm server would automatically activate during my console login, thus 'consuming' the bug, and then the graphical server would start with a perfectly working mouse. This is how I work up to the day. Haven't tried the gpm fix with a graphical login.

I've had this issue on my Samsung laptop with ubuntu 14.04, linux mint 17 and kali linux. As Kali is a Debian distro, it is not only an Ubuntu issue. Disabling the touchpad and using only my mouse allows me to avoid any issua, but I'd like to be able to use my laptop like a laptop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362359 Title: Focus gets stuck to a window - impossible to select other windows Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Alright, terribly annoying bug that gets me to reboot several times a day, but very hard to understand how to trigger it.

@ staticint (0xa5) I am having the same issue with ubuntu 14.04 running gnome, though my mouse is the Cyborg RAT 9. This mouse isnt outdated as it is.

Also happens to me on 12.04 in Gnome Classic Mode from time to time. Happens to plugged devices or integrated touchpads too. Using the context menu click and left clicks in some wild fashion may release the stuck focus, but no clear picture what event exactly releases the stuck focus. Triggering of the problem maybe involves wheel scrolling events or conetxt menu usage in some unusual combination. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362359 Title: Focus gets stuck to a window - impossible to select other windows Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Alright, terribly annoying bug that gets me to reboot several times a day, but very hard to understand how to trigger it.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 362359] Re: Focus gets stuck to a window - impossible to select other windows
I can confirm that this bug happens on Ubuntu 14.04 Gnome. The problem is that some mice are getting stuck after left clicking; from what I have read, I think this only applies to those using wireless mice. I am using the Logitech M-RBF111 Mouse which uses an old wireless communication system (The USB Reciever is huge!). Also, if I am not mistaken, I believe it affects the installation process as well! I can't believe it took me this long to find the solution to this problem... Literally tens of hours of frustration and various configurations. I don't think there is a fix for this. Just get another mouse that is up to date :) This might help when you are experiencing the problem though: 1. Right clicking releases the left click until clicked again (just a pointer for those struggling) 2. Un-plugging and then plugging back in the mouse also releases the stuck left click. I hope this clears everything up for someone else who happens to be having trouble!
