Title:
firefox does not detect mousemove events
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have an issue, which I saw only on Firefox : after some time (or
some event which I haven't identified yet), Firefox does not react to
my mouse movement events
meaning :
* when hovering over an HTML item, it does not highlight/change appearance
even if it is supposed to do so,
* when hovering over a clickable item, the cursor does not change,
* when hovering over selectable text, the cursor does not change,
* tooltips do not appear,
* etc ...
if I trigger other GUI events (if I *click*, or if I *press any
keyboard key* -- `[A]`, `[Shift]`, `[Ctrl]` ...), then the GUI reacts
(cursor changes, tooltips appear, animations get triggered ...), a bit
as if, by handling that other event, firefox realized "oh, the cursor
is actually there", but with no external event, my
mousenter/mouseleave events seem to be ignored, or stalled.
Running Ubuntu 22.10 (kinetic), and regular firefox snap install (my
current version: 109.0.1-1).
As said in the previous sentence: firefox is installed through snap
(which, if I am correct, is the default way to install firefox on a
Ubuntu system these days) not through an apt package.
Is this a known issue ?
