2017-04-04 11:08:30 Eleni Maria Stea description That video was sent to me by a user. When U7 is up and running for long on Xenial, clicking on a dash element is received by the window behind the dash. In the video it seems like a corner case of mouse grab is triggered. It's difficult to reproduce but worth investigating what happens because there have been reported other grab-related problems (eg. in expo mode). That video was sent to me by a user. When U7 is up and running for a long time on Xenial, dash fails to grab the mouse and mouse events are received by the window behind it. It seems like a corner case of our mouse grab code is triggered. Although the bug is difficult to reproduce it's useful to have it here because there have been other grab-related bug reports for compiz and unity (eg for the expo plugin).
