Public bug reported: I'm using Shotwell to Publish (ctrl+shift+P) photos to Flickr. Some of these uploads take quite a while, so I'd like to do other things while they're running. If I alt-tab over to Firefox or Slack or whatever, my mouse works normally, but if I alt-tab back to Shotwell to peek if the upload has completed yet, and then alt-tab over to another app again, now my mouse doesn't work.
Pointer moves, yes. Doesn't produce mouse-over events, doesn't click, doesn't scroll. As soon as the upload completes in Shotwell, the mouse works normally again. I popped into freenode/#ubuntu IRC and they suggested trying Wayland. This behavior does not occur in Wayland, so it was suggested that I report it here under xorg. I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1784161 Title: Mouse inoperative in other apps while Shotwell is uploading to Flickr To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1784161/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
