Public bug reported:
This issue happens nearly every time I press the Function key in
conjunction with the left or right arrows. I often intend to press Ctrl
+ Arrows to move the cursor, but the Function key is adjacent to Ctrl.
What happens, the following symptoms are observed. The desktop is
preserved as it was at the time of the crash. The system time never
advances nor does any other visual indicator update (such as network
disconnect, media insert, etc). I can move the mouse about the screen,
but the pointer does not change based upon the context and no clicks are
registered. No keystrokes are registered. I cannot press Special
(Window) + F2 or Special + Escape to bring up any system menus.
I have needed to restart the computer to correct this. (I can test again
with less drastic steps if anyone wishes to make recommendations.)
(I believe the issue is with xorg-server, not various gnome processes.)
I am using an Acer Aspire Timeline 5810T, a laptop.
