[Bug 229123] [NEW] major window focus problem in X

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Release: Hardy 8.04
Package: Xorg or GDM, latest official versions (?)

Well. I am plagued by a rather strange bug. For me it's always
reproducible but from the lack of bugreports here I guess it's something
rare.

The bug occurs in all X applications Gnome or KDE, it doesn't matter.
Sometimes for instance when I use Firefox I am unable to click on a
hyperlink, or alt+tab to another window. alt+f or alt+f1 still works and
enables the menu. opening up a menu temporarily fixes the focus
problems. as do right-clicking some times. Whenever I am unable to click
buttons or other widgets in an application, it seems I am able to use
the tab button to move the focus to the widget I am trying to access.
These problems occurs in hardy.

I have tried to google for answers but so far that have been
unsuccessful. Some webpage suggested there was problems with
gnome+subwindows, but my bug occurs even if I use KDE. I have tried
uninstalling compiz, with no luck and I have deleted my .gnome2 and
.gconf directories to get rid of any gnome-display-properties
configuration files. So far no luck. My best guess would be that this
bug is related to the window manager somehow. My last try was to nuke
all hidden files in my home folder, it did not work. :(

I am using properitary nvidia drivers (i checked and found them not to
be the source of the problem) and have a samsung 225mw LCD 22"
widescreen.
