Title:
  UI event focus stuck in some pane, impossible to reach the rest of the
  UI

Status in “transgui” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “transgui” source package in Quantal:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Overlay scrollbars are broken, and focus gets stuck in one of the
  panes

   * The fix needs to be backported because in the current state,
  transgui is unusable.

   * The fix includes an upstream vcs commit which adds some checks that
  effectively disables overlay scrollbars

  [Test Case]

   * Install transgui and try to use it, see that the scrollbars won't
  work, and that focus will get stuck

  
  [Regression Potential] 

   * Regressions are unlikely as all this does is disable the overlay
  scrollbars. It's unlikely to affect other packages as transgui is a
  frontend, and it has no revdeps.

   * The newer upstream release has been tested by me since release, and
  the patched version seems to work fine on my computer.

  [Original description]

  It seems that the problem reported as Bug #865410 reappeared in
  quantal. Right after start of the app, the UI works as it should, but
  after a few clicks, wherever in the window I click a mouse button, or
  regardless of how many times I hit the TAB key, the clicks and
  keypresses end up in just one pane of the window (usually "torrent
  details" pane) and no operation that needs a click in another pane,
  including menu, can be performed.

  Note that the package uses overlay scrollbars now; last time disabling
  the overlay scrollbars alleviated the problem.

  Happens under Unity and Cinnamon.
