Bug Description
Boot from Ubuntu cd, select install. When live desktop presented click on install Ubuntu. Select the correct language entry from the list and click on "Forward". Do NOT move the mouse outside of the "Forward" button area. On the next screen (Where are you?) clicking on "Forward" does nothing - you must move cursor focus outside the button area and then the mouseclick will work. The same applies to the subsequent screens.
Also on the "Where are you" screen, you cannot tab out of the "Selected city" field, you must click on one of the buttons to continue.
Noticed in 6.06LTS, 6.10 and last night's daily build. On i36 platform and AMD64. On physical computers and inside VM Workstation and VirtualBox.
I won't say it's a bug, but it's annoying ;o)
This is a GTK bug, and a long standing one. Have a look at bug 22930 and corresponding Gnome bug for more info.
