[Bug 556670] Re: Can't click on UI elements in gimp (intermittent)
I had this, but it was with my mouse. Don't know why, but I had to go
into Edit > Preferences > Input Devices > Reset Saved Input Device
Settings to Default Values.
Seems that that part of the configuration got corrupted somehow.

Can't click on UI elements in gimp (intermittent)

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gimp
Using kubuntu/9.10 on a lenovo x60 tablet PC (wacom).
When using gimp, I find that drawing with extended input devices causes all UI interaction outside of the drawing area to stop. For example, I can not click on menus, toolbox, etc. No other programs are affected, and I can usually restore UI interaction by switching the active window (specifically, clicking the title bar on the image window and then the toolbox window restores interaction. I do not have this problem when using the mouse, only the tablet pen.
Here is an exact sequence that produces this result:
- start gimp, create new image
- select paintbrush tool
- draw in image
- now I can no longer click on menus or toolboxes (although they do respond to the mouse pointer rollover w/hilighting, tooltips, etc)
- click the image window title bar (focus switches from toolbox to image window)
- now I can interact with menus and toolbox again
- repeat!
