Public bug reported: This is on 8.04 Hardy, but I've seen this problem for several months (ever since I upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy Beta, 2.6.24-16-generic). I generally do updates daily.
When selecting an open window in the Window List (on the bottom panel for me), X will freeze up entirely. The mouse will move, but nothing responds at all, and even control+alt+backspace does nothing - I have to do a hard reset. The lockup doesn't happen every time a window is selected, but it happens reliably enough for me to not use the Window List at all. I've been using AWN to switch between programs in the meantime, but I much prefer gnome-panel; I'd rather not hear the constant "hey, is that a Mac?" comments from the un-initiated. Can anyone relate? ** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: This is on 8.04 Hardy, but I've seen this problem for several months (ever since I upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy Beta, 2.6.24-16-generic).
