[Bug 41301] Re: Mouse clicks stop working sporadically

[Kristian Spilhaug]

As Bryan I've also recently experienced the same problem. I'm running
Ubuntu 9.10, upgraded from 8.10 via 9.04. I have not experienced the
problem on the previous versions, but have seen it on and off for a few
days now.

The mouse-click symptoms are pretty much the same as described. I can move the pointer, but the mouse does not react to links, does not highlight icons, nor show help-text when held above time/date or other symbols. In addition:
- Alt+tab does not work
- Alt+space does not work
- Ctrl+tab does work
- Ctrl+Alt+arrow does shift workspace
- Ctrl+Alt+backspace works, and usually solves the problem (but is annoying)
- Alt+F1 will highlight the Applications-menu-text, but the menu fails to show
- Alt+F2 does work
- Right-clicking will occationally solve the problem
- Clicking my processor-log-item, opening my system settings usually triggers the bug
- When the bug is "active" update manger says "failed to grab the pointer"
