This bug may get fixed, but there is still an underlaying issue here. How can one little application freeze the WHOLE desktop?

[Bug 603482] Re: Desktop freezes if new window takes focus while menu is open
Fred, you are right of course, but the underlying issue is well known. The X Window specification lets an application grab the mouse pointer or the keyboard, preventing any other application from using them until they are released again. Like many things in the X Window System, this only works if the application behaves itself and doesn't have a bug in the wrong place. There would probably be ways to work around this - X has a give me back my mouse key combination which you can activate - but fundamentally this can only be changed by replacing X with something else (Wayland?) And hoping that the replacement doesn't have any equally silly problems that no one thought of in time! Take a look at http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/X12 if you are interested in other shortcomings of X11. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/603482 Title: Desktop freezes if new window takes focus while menu is open -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Within 5 seconds, open any of the window menus for the previously-focused window, and wait for the remaining time to elapse. What happens: * A Save Screenshot window takes focus (with a thumbnail showing that Take Screenshot successfully snapped the open menu). * The menu then goes blank, and the entire screen becomes unresponsive. What should happen: As soon as the Save Screenshot window takes focus, the menu you had open should automatically close, because it is no longer a menu for the focused window.
