Bug Description
Binary package hint: synergy
Steps to reproduce (only happens occasionally):
-Highlight some text in either client or server
-Move mouse to client if not already there
-Paste clipboard contents with middle click
1) I am using Natty x86_64 for the synergy server and Natty x86_32 for the client. The crash occurs on the client.
2) synergy-1.3.6
3) I expect the clipboard contents to be pasted and move on with my work
4) Often the synergy client crashes forcing me to restart it, about 50% of the crashes also manage to hose the way xwindows handles mouse input (from either the restarted synergy client or the physical touchpad) so that clicks are directed to random areas of the screen (though never what I am actually interacting with). When xwindows gets into this state the only solution is to drop to the console and restart gdm.
