Having problems getting a cursor to perform normal functions.

[WLB]

When I point the mouse and click to where I want to type, nothing happens. There is no cursor indicating that I can type in that spot, or cut and paste.

I am having this problem frequently. After being on a website for a while and then try to type in a new web address, or type something on the web page, or do a search, there is no cursor, and I am unable to do anything. I have to close all browsers and reopen, and that usually resets the cursor.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

WLB,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported? Please let us know if you do.

If we do not hear from you the bug report will close in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
