[Bug 553415] Re: mouse trapped in box for Open Motif

[Chris Carlin]

Alright, so where are we on the SRU? Going through the checklist,
1) Fix released in Maverick

2) Impact of bug: rightclick in many (all?) motif/lesstif applications disables the computer
--How the bug is addressed: small patch to X that other distributions accepted long ago
--Patch against stable: see above or my ppa
--Instructions for reproduction: open any (?) motif application, or install medm from my ppa, and rightclick inside of it
--Regression potential: seems small because of the short patch and aformentioned inclusion in other distributions, as well as my own testing in a heterogeneous mix of computers

3) Nominated for release, and I just subscribed ubuntu-sru

4) Upload to release-proposed... I don't know how, but again, I uploaded
the patched xorg-server to my ppa so hopefully someone who does know how
can grab it from there. Also, I believe the diff is attached above.

That should be it, right?

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xorg

A recent update of Kubuntu 10.03 beta1 has made a lesstif application, grace, unusable. Right-clicking traps the cursor within the menu, and the user is forced to switch to a text console and kill the application--or reboot.

I have filed this bug for grace as well, but Fedora developers have traced this bug back to xorg-xserver :

(see comment #32.)

The bug and the relevant patches are included in the discussion. My bug report in grace can be found here:
