(Get the code!)
I CAN REPRODUCE IT (with Sebastian's patch, of course)!!
~~~~~~~
1) Push PadLeft (hold), then push StickLeft (hold), then touch Stick to move the pointer over some text (and let it be; still holding btns!)
- your pointer should have moved and selected a piece of text -- normal "drag selection"
2) Now release PadLeft and then StickLeft (first StickLeft then PadLeft doesn't trigger this!)
- now you're screwed :)
Voila! Your desktop is now officially crazy. :) Moving the pointer using external mouse, Stick or Pad keeps dragging the selection. You can push any buttons or keys you want, it won't stop untill you click PadLeft!
What happens to me - I usually pushed ALT-Tab in this state to check other windows (i.e. "what's going on?"). Try it. The situation get worse, because the selection stops, doesn't follow the mouse anymore, but all symptoms remain. Now you just see a desktop, where keyboard doesn't work, mouse clicks don't work, ALT+Tab order got reversed -- first I thought X went crazy. Until I found that it's the ALPS. Pushing PadLeft makes everything go away.
