Comment 131 for bug 764330

I tried setting the mouse poll and using Chrome instead of Firefox. Both seemed to have improved the issue, but have not fixed it. The time it takes for the problem to resurface has gone from hours to days. Apparently, these have been successful workarounds for some people. Changing mouse poll rate via the Compiz plugin appears to do nothing.

Is there any chance of the proposed fix being applied in 11.10, or will be delayed until 12.04? One of my greatest frustrations with Ubuntu lately is that Canonical seems to quickly abandon recent releases, and focus all attention on the next one.

I've tried to be patient with Unity - and even upgraded to, supposedly, friendlier hardware - but it's interfering with my workflow far too much. Frequent running unity --replace, logouts, and reboots have only gotten worse from 11.04 to 11.10. I really like Unity overall, but I've switched over to Gnome 3 for now so I can get some work done. So far, it's been much more stable.
