This bug is driving me crazy for months now. I always hit "Alt-F2 and r" to make the mouse working again. But sometimes it occours within 5 minute intervalls for me. Actually I'm on debian and gnome 3 (and I just googled for the symptoms coming here) I kind of suspect the nvidia graphic driver to be the issue, this desktop has an older card that was a pain to get working in the first place.

[Bug 1181666] Re: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse from working
I too am having this issue (I think). The issue appears after I go to the activities section, either by pressing the windows key or by clicking activities. The issue seems to happen when im running games that manipulate the mouse, the main examples are minecraft which locks the mouse somewhere while playing and Civ 5 which hides the mouse and uses a custom pointer. The games work fine until I go to the application overview and back. Most of the time, the mouse can still be moved but clicks stop doing anything in any windows and no hover effects are shown. The mouse works fine on the menu bar in gnome though. Sometimes the issue can be fixed by clicking a window a few times, if that doesn't work, alt tabing in and out of the game fixes it ocationally. If that still doesn't work, closing the game usually does. Looking into the issue further, it seems like clicking on a window sevral times and moving the mouse will almost always fix the issue. Another way to solve the issue temporarily that I have found is to use the skype integration plugin and open a new skype window, then closing it. It's not related to skype since I have had the issue when not running it but it seems to be able to fix the issue. Looking into it some more, it seems like opening any window will work, for example using ctrl+alt+t. Also, if no game which uses the mouse is running, opening the activities tab and closing it again without clicking on a window will require one click to gain focus and then one to actually click. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181666 Title: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse from working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1181666/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1181666] Re: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse from working
I'm having the same problem after upgrading from 13.04 with Gnome-Shell 3.8 to 13.10 with Gnome-Shell 3.10. I do not use Pidgin. In my experience, the problem is consistently reproducible when the Overview is exited by clicking on an application. When I select any running application on any Workspace, all applications fail to respond to any mouse input. If I, from the Overview, click to show the Desktop (thanks to the Show Desktop From Overview extension), then Alt-Tab to a running application on that Workspace, I don't encounter the issue. However, I have found one way to quickly recover which is to activate the Google Chrome browser (which I always have running) and switch tabs via the Ctrl+Pg[Up|Down] keyboard shortcut. I find that it usually takes a couple switches Up and Down, irrespective of which direction I go (i.e. I almost always must go both directions). I happen to have had these keyboard shortcuts bound to the left right tilt of my Logitech MX Revolution mouse wheel for quite a long time, even before the upgrade, using xbindkeys. I've performed some extensive testing and my conclusion is that the issue is somehow caused by Chrome, or perhaps the fact that Chrome is resident in memory, consuming 2.7 GB of RAM currently according to Chrome's own internal reporting. I've tried disabling all Gnome-Shell extensions which had no effect. I next tried disabling all Chrome extensions which had a small, but noticeable, effect. The only thing that seems to have dramatically abated the issue is not having Chrome loaded at all. Here are my system specs, in case it's relevant: Power: RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-730SS 730W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Power Supply Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS CPU: AMD FX-8120 8-core 3.1 GHz CPU RAM: Mushkin Enhanced Essentials 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Display: Video: MSI R6570-MD2GD3/LP Radeon HD 6570 2GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 Output: Insignia 42 LCD HDTV connected via VGA, running at 1920x1080 resolution (1080p) Storage: 1 x WDC WD10EZEX-00RKKA0 1.0 TB SATA HD used as OS / Home 4.5 TB BTRFS storage array comprised of: 2 x ST31500341AS 1.5 TB SATA HD 1 x ST31500541AS 1.5 TB SATA HD I think my video card is the weak point and that it needs to be upgraded.

[Bug 1181666] Re: gnome-shell randomly blocks mouse from working
I seem to also be having a similar issue as well. My mouse can move around and shows hover state on the top menu bar, but can't click on anything. I however can't use the keyboard shortcuts to pull up anything. The only shortcuts I am able to use is the ctrl+alt+F1-7 keys. For which that sometimes fixes the issue by bouncing over to one of them then back to the the original shell ie F7. I tend to have to do this shortly after logging in every time. It seems to have gotten more problematic with the upgrade to 13.10 from 13.04. However the bouncing shells trick sometimes works, but at a random time it stops working. To which I have tried running export DISPLAY=:0.0; gnome-shell --replace. Which doesn't appear to work for me, and results in a gnome shell where the top bar is missing as well as any boards title bars on windows. The mouse can still move around at this point, but requires be to do a full restart to get back into a functional state. To note I do see a OpenGL exception after running the replace. Next time this happens I'll try to record the exception. Is there any logs I can try to pull for you that may help? As I can consistently get into this bad state with a logout back in, but takes some time to get into the real bad state.
