Description michael de 2009-11-18 22:30:16 UTC 
The bug is reproducible on my Ubuntu 9.10 (32-bit) system by opening http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-m1/m114431-1.png and (sometimes repeatedly) dragging the image to an invalid target (e.g. just a little bit in any direction) and then releasing the left mouse button. The pointer gets stuck on "no-drop" indicating that the image has been dragged to an invalid drop target. The image may have to be of a certain size or format.

Keyboard input still works. Invoking a terminal (e.g. by pressing ALT + F2) and killing epiphany-browser ("killall -9 epiphany-browser") releases the mouse back to the user.
Comment 1 Reinout van Schouwen 2009-12-18 21:16:56 UTC 
I can't reproduce this (epiphany 2.29.3). Does it make any difference which window manager you're using and whether compositing is enabled?
Comment 2 Sven Arvidsson 2010-01-23 20:40:08 UTC 
It's the same problem that's described here, http://bugs.debian.org/565346

I can reproduce this with 2.29.5, I'm using Metacity with the compositor enabled.
Comment 3 michael de 2010-01-26 10:26:45 UTC 
I also had metacity with compositing and compiz fusion enabled (using compiz-decorator).
Comment 4 Josselin Mouette 2010-01-27 17:39:44 UTC 
Same here, using metacity without compositing.
Comment 5 Sven Arvidsson 2010-02-02 14:37:00 UTC 
Seems like a problem with WebKit Gtk: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32840
Comment 6 Sam Morris 2010-03-14 14:12:40 UTC 
Should this still be NEEDINFO?
Comment 7 Sam Morris 2010-03-14 14:14:31 UTC 
Or it's a dupe of bug 611497.
Comment 8 Reinout van Schouwen 2010-03-15 09:13:43 UTC 
OK, marking DUPLICATE for now. Please feel free to reopen this bug or file a new one if https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32840 is resolved but the problem still occurs.
