Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity
Sometimes (unsure of what triggers the bug) the mouse is grabbed by an
application (e.g. Firefox). Then the mouse can only be used to interact
with that single application, but keyboard interaction still works with
that and other apps. When closing the application that has grabbed the
mouse, the "next focused" application grabs the mouse, and so on.
Running "unity --replace &" seems to ungrab the mouse.
When the mouse is grabbed the following is seen in .xsession-errors when
clicking the mouse (one or two lines per click):
...
ISACTIVE:true
ISACTIVE:false
ISACTIVE:true
ISACTIVE:false
ISACTIVE:true
ISACTIVE:false
ISACTIVE:true
ISACTIVE:false
ISACTIVE:true
ISACTIVE:false
...
I'm not 100% certain this is a bug in Unity, but it has only appeared
after upgrading to natty. I suspect it might be triggered by some
interaction with playing Flash in Firefox, but the problem persists
after closing Firefox. I have tried to find the string "ISACTIVE" in
different source packages, but no luck.
