[Bug 1351982] Re: top panel and launcher are unresponsive

 

Also: Drag and drop no longer work. For example, dragging a file from
nautilus to gnome-terminal no longer inserts the file path.

Title:
  top panel and launcher are unresponsive

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Unity has recently (~2014-07-15) started exhibiting two odd behaviors that are likely related:
  1) The launcher, which is set to autohide, will appear and disappear in <1s (even though I hover over the launcher). It is unresponsive to clicks.
  2) All applets  in the top panel are unresponsive to clicks.

  1 & 2 always occur together at some point during a session. That is,
  these components work correctly for hours (days?), then become
  unresponsive. I have not yet identified the trigger event;
  screenlocking or suspend/resume *may* be related, but not reliably so
  (i.e., I can't reproduce it this way).

  Restarting unity-panel-service (killall unity-panel-service) doesn't
  help. The problem is temporarily fixed by logging out/in or rebooting,
  but the issue recurs.

  The timing of the first occurrence (in July) is probably consistent
  with my first use of unity-tweak-tool to set focus follows mouse,
  although this hypothesis doesn't explain why the components initially
  work and then become unresponsive. Otherwise, my config is pretty
  stock.
