description |
First of all - I have not been able to find a way to reproduce this bug when I want to. I have tried - a lot.
That being said, this happens quite often. I use firefox 3 on Ubuntu 8.04 and browse a lot using Ctrl+click (opening a new tab in the background) and Ctrl-W. At some time (often after 15-20 minutes) the control key seems stuck. Just normally clicking on any link opens the page in a background tab in firefox.
Thought this might just affect firefox, but the whole desktop environment is affected, so I guess it must be gnome, somehow. The symptoms are very much like those described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194214
Unfortunately I can't log out normally, because everything I click just seems highlighted. Can't type anything in thegnome- terminal; just have a rectangle where the letters should be. You can see the same thing when just pressing Ctrl in a normal session. I have to either Ctrl-Alt-F1 to a terminal and run "killall gnome-session" or kill the X-server via the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination.
Because I have not found an easy way of reproducing this bug (quickly!) I guess it will be closed as incomplete, but since this has happened quite a few times since the launch of 8.04, I though I might report it. |

Weird, so could be a firefox or kernel issue. Also quite possible the two of you have different unrelated bugs. Anyway, dropping xorg as the package for this since it needs deeper analysis to know what package is causing the problem. Btw, you might find xev useful in investigating this. |
