[Bug 1337586] Re: Mouse loses focus when multiple windows are open

 

Brian Gerdes, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better. As per http://www.msi.com/support/mb/Z77AGD65.html#down-bios an
update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (10.11).
If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Mouse loses focus when multiple windows are open

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I have done a little research and it
  appears that this "could" be related to my USB headset and mouse. I am
  using a Logitech G930 wireless USB headset and a Logitech G9x wired
  mouse.

  When I first boot into Ubuntu everything works fine, even with one
  window open (i.e. Firefox). I can browse the internet, open new tabs,
  etc., and everything functions as expected. As soon as I open another
  window or program (i.e. System settings, Terminal) I am unable to
  select any options in the focused window. If I click something on the
  focused window (the window in front of another window) the mouse click
  will actually register on the window below.. if that makes sense :/
  However, I am able to select things using the keyboard.

  I am also unable to open any new programs on my quick launch bar, alt-
  tab doesn't work.. right-click on empty desktop won't open the menu,
  etc.

  The only way to fix this is to restart the X server or reboot.

  My headset and mouse function properly in the Windows OS. I have also
  tried them together using Linux Mint 17 w/ Cinnamon desktop and had
  the same problem.

  One thing I noticed with Linux Mint 17 was that everything appeared to
  work properly until I updated the kernel via software update and
  rebooted. I then started encountering the mouse/window focus issue.
