Hi all,

I just found out that the keys to forcefully release keyboard/mouse grabs have been reintroduced (hooray!) but unfortunately the key to release active grabs doesn't work - nothing happens when I press it, and the grab is still in place.

I am running "setxkbmap -option grab:break_actions" xev tells me that pressing Alt+Ctrl+KP/ and KP* generates an XF86Ungrab and XF86ClearGrab keysym.

When I press XF86ClearGrab then any program with an active grab is terminated, so that much works, but the functionality I'm really after is missing - that of XF86Ungrab releasing the grab but leaving the program none the wiser. When I press XF86Ungrab nothing happens. Even opening a popup menu in any program and pressing Alt+Ctrl+KP/ has no effect, the grab is still in place.

Am I doing something wrong? Is XF86Ungrab the correct keysym to release an active grab without terminating the program?

Thanks,
Adam.
