This issue also occurs semi-randomly when making normal touchscreen motions. For instance, sometimes I'll be scrolling through a webpage, the suddenly Firefox will un-maximize itself (turning into a normal window), and the cursor will get locked into the drag state. As per this issue, the system is then rendered inoperative until I kill Firefox (the active window).
This however, is not consistently reproducible, where as dragging from the top bar will cause the issue 100% of the time. It is by no means uncommon though, it is actually quite annoying to have my entire system freeze up semi-regularly and require me to manually restart Firefox (in fact, it happened while writing this comment). I have also done some more testing. - Minimizing the active window (using wmctrl) from a virtual console does not solve the issue. - Starting a new window from a virtual console does not solve the issue. - Consistently, the only way to resolve this issue is the kill the active program. -- 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/2037307 Title: Dragging the top activities/time bar freezes GNOME completely (Xorg session) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/2037307/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
