GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 321121
Drag'n'drop sometimes freezes X server input
Last modified: 2005-11-12 11:15:25 UTC
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu Breezy (x86-64) (Sorry, poor summary - not really sure how best to describe it!) Often, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day, when I drag a message from my Inbox (in the top-right panel of the mail view) to one of my folders (in the left panel), when I release the mouse button, the drag continues. In fact, however I try (whatever mouse and keyboard inputs I try) I cannot drop the icon anywhere. The window manager stops responding to 'Alt-Tab' etc. If I have another computer available on the network, I can ssh in, 'killall evolution' and things return to normal, so it suggests that evolution is blocking the X server in this state somehow. If I do not have access to kill evolution, I have to 'Ctrl-Alt-Backspace' kill the X server and log back in (inconvenient when it happens 2 or 3 times a day). Is there any more information I can provide to help understand and resolve this?
Yeah! sigh! i know this bug. There is one already filed regarding that. (not sure about the bug number though). Its a pain, agreed. Have no clue as to whats wrong though.
