Description gavin.d.howard 2017-12-08 22:39:41 UTC 
When the "App not responding" dialog pops up on X11, it blocks all *mouse* input (but not keyboard input) to *any* window, except the dialog. This makes it difficult to debug X11 apps which do not respond when at a breakpoint. When that happens, I cannot use the mouse to click around in my IDE to look at variables, data, etc.

This prevents me from working.
