mouse doesn't activate any app windows

[Brunod]

Mouse is acting ok in unity, but as i click on an application icon, it's new window opens and the the mouse is unable to act on it, like if it was on another level. But it remains ok for the unity menu and icon.
So, except using alt+F4 to close the window or using the keyboard, i just can't interact with it using the mouse.
It is not related to the hardware on the mouse side : i tried two very different ones, and the behaviour is the same.
I can't click in the window (draw or anything else) nor act with the window itself (close, expand, shrink or drag.)
It seems that sometimes, when i use the cursor in the main menu above related to the window concerned, that then i get access to normal functionnality. But if i launch another app, the buggy behavior reappears for the new and the already opened windows.

This exists on precise with updated packet until today 6 augustus.

I don't know if unity can be consider as a single package, but it's to unity that this bug is related to.

Does the same problem occur for apps started without the launcher? Like Ctrl+Alt+T for Terminal.

Can you still move the non-responsive windows using Alt+Button1, drag?

[Brunod (delsupexhe)]

Yes.

No.

But as i tried now to answer you during the terminal window open, i noticed
that the cursor is blinking in ffox, ready to write, but when i type, it's
writing into the terminal window instead. It would be normal because it was
the terminal window that was active according to the borders appearance.
But i can place the writing cursor into ffox by clicking the mouse, see it
blinking, but ffox doesn't become active.
Hope it will help,
Thanks !

Are you using the fglrx driver? If so, then this might be bug 913521.

[Brunod (delsupexhe)]

No, i don't think so.
According "logithèque ubuntu" i'm using "current recommanded" driver,
and via synaptic, searching fglrx, i only get the packages
jockey-common 0.9.7.
jockey-gtk 0.9.7
xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.14.99~git 20111 listed installed.
I switch via "logithèque" to try "version current-updates" but i get still
the same behaviour.
So i switched back.
Thanks.
