Public bug reported: Binary package hint: billard-gl
While playing billard-gl the spacebar may lock forcing the user to shutdown using the external power button. I've manage to reproduce this 3 times, but I don't have the exact reproduction steps. All 3 instances where after a clean boot of the system. Seems this happens while playing the game using the spacebar (instead of middle mouse button), and using the mouse itself just to aim/look. Maybe going back to the main menu with the mouse while holding the spacebar will raise the chances of triggering the bug. After the bug is triggered seems the state of the spacebar is always down. I cant confirm if the state is purely inverted (down is released and up is pressed) or if using the spacebar again cycles once between the released and pressed state (leaving it pressed). Seems more like the latter. Closing the game would leave the system unusable as any menu option that is highlighted would trigger instantly and opening a terminal would result in spaces being typed continously. I can't switch the the console using Ctrl+Alt+F1 either. The problem seems purely software related as unplugging the keyboard does not fix the problem. ** Affects: billard-gl (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- billard-gl may lock the spacebar https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
