GUI freeze

[Alexander Biehl]

While each window partly unresponsive, the system did not freeze up completely.
I was still able to switch active windows or change to different desktops.

But within each window, only the previously active part I was still able to interact with.
For example in my browser, the active part was the address bar. I was still able to type, but any other interaction (buttons, opening new tabs etc) was not possible.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.

At a minimum, we need:
1. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem.
2. The behavior you expected.
3. The behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!
