Public bug reported:
This bug has been tested on two different laptop.
The first one was a 5 years old IBM laptop on Feisty with two built-in mouses.
The second was a Dell inspiron 9300 laptop on Gutsy with one built-in mouse and
a USB wireless mouse.
When accessing the Desktop of an other user through " Change User ", one
mouse will completely stop working.
Steps to reproduce the bugs are :
1. Have two mouses.
2. Open a session
3. Click the change user button to open another session without closing the
actual session.
4. Open another session
Eh voila, one of the two mouse isn't working anymore. If you go back to
the first user Desktop, the second mouse will suddenly works again. It's
pretty bad on a laptop with two built-in mouses because the most used
mouse always stop to work.
Is it possible that Xorg or another component just handle one mouse for
ALL users? The other mouse could belong to the user itself and can't be
used by another user as long as the session of that user isn't closed?
It sounds like that.
