Bug Description
I'm not sure which package this belongs to: python-wxgtk2.6 or libwxgtk2.6-0 (or something else), but it appears in the following programs: gvr, drpython, spe.
When text is highlighted and an attempt is made to drag the text to another window, the mouse cursor gets stuck in the "drag and drop mode". Sometimes keyboard input still works, and you can use Alt-f keys to get to a drop down menu and make the cursor change back to normal. Other times keyboard input is lost and restarting X is the only solution.
My students are using GvR and drpython and accidentally make this happen several times each day.
