Public bug reported:
After upgrading to oneiric I noticed that a few menus don't accept mouse
clicks in some places any more. List-boxes inside tabs, as used by
'gnome-control-center sound' cannot be modified via mouse. Keyboard
navigation still works though. Similar problem with gnome-terminal:
when a terminal window is tabbed, mouse-selection of terminal contents
is impossible. This seems to be caused by me using the command
xmodmap -e 'pointer = 1 2 3 4'
after login, to remap the order of mouse buttons for left-handed use.
I just caught a little more insight into the problem: if I open up two
gnome-terminal windows side-by-side, one tabbed, one without tabs, if I
first click the first (non-tabbed) window, then change focus to the
second window by clicking it, attempting to select any text in the
second window, actually does select text in the first window, with the
corresponding window-relative position. So events go to the wrong
window. How's that possible? Maybe the window-manager is part of the
bug? However, non-gtk applications like Emacs etc. do not show the
problem, so I think it must be gtk-related.
For me that bug is pretty grave. Hope it can be reproduced on other
installations.
