[Bug 362359] Re: Focus gets stuck to a window - impossible to select other windows

 

I'm having the exact same issues. I've been monitoring this thread in
the hopes that someone, somewhere will come out with a fix or a work
around that works.

To add my 5c, on my laptop, a dv3510NR, the trouble only exhibits itself
after a few suspend-resume cycles. It's completely random in that it
could happen on the first suspend-resume cycle or it could happen after
several cycles. The longest I've ever gone for without issues has been
about a week.

Some other points to note, in the hopes that it helps; The pointer can
be freed by either closing the window that has the focus locked or by
bringing up a menu widget within the locked window. This will free the
lock until another window gets left-clicked. Right-clicking does not
trigger this behavior.

Forcing a display of the desktop will temporarily release the focus
until the original window is brought back or another window is left-
clicked. Also, left-clicking a windows' widgets (ie. minimize, maximize,
etc) does not trigger this behavior. Finally, once locked, the window
widgets become unresponsive.

The problem does not appear to be application related. I forced myself
to use my system such that all applications get killed/shutdown before
suspending, however, the behavior was still triggered.

My system specs are as follows:
  HP DV3510NR
  NVidia drivers v185.18.36
  Ubuntu 9.10

I hope this helps someone dig further. I'd also be open to running some
diagnostic tools when this behavior is triggered and to post the results
back, if someone can point me in the right direction in terms of what to
run.
