Yes if you're using Xorg (the default "Ubuntu" session) then mouse cursor movement is done by the Xorg process so it will keep moving even if gnome-shell was frozen.
I meant that you should run 'top' before the problem happens and leave it running so you can watch that window. When the problem happens is it only keyboard input that freezes or window contents too? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1807056 Title: Occasional Keyboard freeze To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1807056/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
