Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: synergy

Synergy worked for me beautifully in Hoary, but after upgrading to
Intrepid, it has a serious problem.  If synergy server is running on my
intrepid machine, and I move my mouse off the desktop to the next
machine (a windows box running synergy client) and then I move my mouse
back to the intrepid desktop, mouse clicks no longer work on the local
intrepid X server.  I can move the mouse pointer around, but clicking
the buttons do not do anything.  I can use alt-tab to switch between
windows and still use the keyboard to do things.  To regain use of the
mouse, I have to log out (using alt-f1 and keyboard), and then log in
again.

In case it matters, I've been running Compiz and Xinerama on the synergy
host (Intrepid machine) and an Nvidia closed-source server.  This was
also the case when I ran synergy successfully in Hoary.

The mouse works properly on the synergy client machine.

Package: synergy
Version: 1.3.1-4ubuntu2
