I have now also filed a bug report on this upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762193
** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #762193 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762193 ** Description changed: - I am running Ubuntu Gnome 15.04, with Gnome Shell, and I recently - upgraded from Gnome 3.14 to Gnome 3.16, and have noticed a few issues, - one of which I am reporting in this report. The thing that I have - noticed is that suddenly for seemingly no reason, if I try to drag, or - click on a window, or interact with it at all, nothing happens... And as - I am running Docky this means that I can't even changed to a new window, - or open a new program, instead I have to go to the Activities Overview - which seems to still be functioning during this outage of the other - programs. This normally only lasts for a minute or two, but is still - very annoying. So I am reporting it as a bug. + I first noticed this issue when I was running Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 with + GNOME 3.16, but even now that I have upgraded to Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with + GNOME 3.18 I still experience the issue (though I have not yet + experienced this on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.19 - but that may be + due to the fact that this issue only comes up every so often (a few + times a week at the moment) and I haven't used it that much). The issue + being that for some reason suddenly for seemingly no reason unless I + interact with the top bar in terms of clicking on an option on it (e.g.: + the calender or Activities Overview buttons), I am unable to click on + any application, or even drag some files on the desktop, though if I go + to the bottom of my screen Docky does should which is on autohide so it + does allow some interaction, though interestingly not all as buttons + don't change colour that normally would when I go over them when my + machine is doing this funny thing. - INFORMATION UPDATE: - - I am now running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18 and still experience - the issue, though less often than I did with the previous version of - GNOME and Ubuntu. + Some have even said though that they have to completely restart gnome- + shell to temporarily get rid of the problem. I also experienced the + problem a lot on 3.16, but in 3.18, it is periodic in the week that I + experience it and it is several times, but not as much, and not as + blocking. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1482397 Title: Applications suddenly don't allow any interaction with them To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1482397/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
