[Bug 402892] Re: Mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag and drop" mode
Steps to reproduce: This is a video of how to reproduce it: https://emalm.com/?v=DsBSK 1. Go to google.com 2. Click the Google logo, move the logo as little as possible but enough to cause dragging and then release as soon as possible after you see that your mouse started dragging. Eventually you could just do it extremely quickly like in the video: https://emalm.com/?v=DsBSK 3. Sometimes the cursor would get stuck in the drag mode with the Google logo attached to it (even though the mouse button is no longer pressed). It usually requires a lot of attempts to reproduce. It's reproducible on 20.04 and 21.10 Wayland. It's reproducible in Chrome, Firefox title bar, some other programs. It makes the mouse unusable. I'm absolutely certain that it's not an issue with the mouse (I've researched and tested everything thoroughly). I've verified the release event is received via xinput --test-xi2 --root, verified that this doesn't affect non-draggable things (like mousedown / mouseup Javascript events), verified with another input device (graphics tablet), where it also happens. I've tested different kernels: 5.4, 5.11, 5.13 and this bug exists on all of them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402892 Title: Mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag and drop" mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/402892/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can reproduce it on Live CDs: 20.04 21.10 Wayland. So it doesn't seem to be a problem with Xorg, but maybe something more low-level. This bug requires immediate attention! It makes the mouse unusable and requires crazy workarounds like mapping a keyboard key to a click and using it as a mouse button (so it releases immediately, to prevent dragging). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402892 Title: Mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag and drop" mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/402892/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm adding the following, so searches of this symptom will also find this thread: Once the bug is triggered, it also repeatably affects LibreOffice Calc - if you click-select a worksheet tab or drag-select a set of cells then release mouse, it enters drag-and-drop mode, and (strangely) draws a thick border around the selection, which you cannot undo or reformat. I can exit DND mode with ESC. And temporarily remove the problem with the xinput solution, but I agree with #53 that disabling touch screen is insufficient - you need to re-enable too.

[Bug 402892] Re: Mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag and drop" mode
Happens very frequently for me also on a vanilla 18.04 (Thinkpad), but only on a small subset of applications. What's strange is that the bug appeared a few days ago after years without problem. I do not use any external peripheral (nothing connected to the laptop except the power supply). An easy solution to solve this without rebooting the whole system is to disable then enable the TouchScreen (disabling alone is not sufficient). Following Paul Müller's steps: - find your TouchScreen input ID with ``xinput`` (in my case ``Melfas LGDisplay Incell Touch id=9`` - ``xinput --disable 9`` - ``xinput --enable 9`` If you want to automate this in a script/alias, you can easily retrieve the ID once you know the name of the TouchScreen: - ``xinput list --id-only 'Melfas LGDisplay Incell Touch'`` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402892 Title: Mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag and drop" mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/402892/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I discovered a way to consistently trigger this. I don't know if all these steps are necessary, but it works for me consistently this way. Configuration: - Ubuntu MATE 20.10 - caja version 1.24.0 - Evolution version 3.38.1-1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. In Evolution, open the 'Compose Message' window. I have it set by default to 'Plain Text' editing mode, and attachment bar collapsed. 2. Open caja and navigate to the desired file. 3. drag & drop the file in the message body. This should result in the full file path URI being displayed as the message. 4. press `CTRL+Z` (Undo). 5. Now drag the same file again, over the message body, into the (collapsed) attachment bar. 6. Your mouse should now be stuck in DND mode, requiring `pkill caja` to release it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402892 Title: Mouse cursor gets stuck in "drag and drop" mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/402892/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same problem here. System: Mint 18.3 with kernel 4.15.0-55-generic (Problem seems not to be dependent on kernel version. Had this effect with earlier kernel versions too) Desktop: MATE with lightdm Reproduction: Open two folders in default file manager of mate. Then drag files from one folder to another folder in a seperate window while pressing the shift key. After ~ 10 files copied the problem occurs. Reproduction 2: Open a folder and drag and drop files (small .mp4 video clips) from a folder to XPlayer (Medienwiedergabe). Problem occurs after around 10 files or sooner. (VLC seems to run fine though). Mouse can be moved but klicks do not work. No left, right, middle, scrolling ... nothing. Keyboard works fine. Unplugging and plugging mouse does not help. How to solve the problem: Reboot. Nothing else worked for me. Monitor has no touch screen. "Gesettings" command did not help. Killing nautilus, file-roller, rapidsvn, nautilus-desktop, nemo is not applicable (but still tried it) and/but did not help too. During the copy process the default mouse icon changes from normal mouse pointer to this hand symbol with an arrow on the bottom right side pointing to the left top corner and the file icon symbol of the file that was to be copied (grabbed).

To further clarify my remark in #23, when this happens when I am using a USB mouse, if I right-click using the touchpad, all is back to normal. It does not matter if I unplug the USB mouse or not. I was assuming that unplugging the external mouse was making it work again, but that is not the case.

[Bug 402892] Re: Mouse cursor gets stuck in drag and drop mode
As far as I can say this bug is not dependent on RapidSVN but must a general GNOME Problem. I had this behaviour often when using Epiphany and get it now when I am using my Wacom tablet. Once an dragdrop operation is triggered by accident, the cursor is stuck in the drop mode: i.e. it shows the little arrow beside an icon. The system will not respond to ESC or the like. If you are lucky, you can type into some textfield which provides some popup text (like the epiphany adress bar). If the popup of this textfield shows up, the cursor is reset. The suggested solution given above does not work in Lucid Lynx since changing to another terminal using Alt+Ctrl+NR does not work quite well. Often it is impossible to change back to terminal 7.
