Bug Description
Release: Hardy 8.04
Package: Xorg or GDM, latest official versions (?)
Well. I am plagued by a rather strange bug. For me it's always reproducible but from the lack of bugreports here I guess it's something rare.
The bug occurs in all X applications Gnome or KDE, it doesn't matter. Sometimes for instance when I use Firefox I am unable to click on a hyperlink, or alt+tab to another window. alt+f or alt+f1 still works and enables the menu. opening up a menu temporarily fixes the focus problems. as do right-clicking some times. Whenever I am unable to click buttons or other widgets in an application, it seems I am able to use the tab button to move the focus to the widget I am trying to access. These problems occurs in hardy.
I have tried to google for answers but so far that have been unsuccessful. Some webpage suggested there was problems with gnome+subwindows, but my bug occurs even if I use KDE. I have tried uninstalling compiz, with no luck and I have deleted my .gnome2 and .gconf directories to get rid of any gnome-display-
I am using properitary nvidia drivers (i checked and found them not to be the source of the problem) and have a samsung 225mw LCD 22" widescreen.

I also have this issue! I have no idea what's causing it, I've tried several things, but nothing that you haven't already and none of them have fixed it...
