I'd like to point out: this is not an Ubuntu-specific bug: I'm a gentoo
user, running fvwm as my wm, and I have the same problem. This is
specific to GTK apps with multiple interactable fields (evince and
audacious are affected).

Any guesses where upstream this is broken?

Cheers,

EE

Title:
  Some gtk dialogs do not accept mouse clicks when buttons remapped
  using xmodmap

Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
