GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 669773
Entire mplayer window doesn't respond to mouse clicks after pressing ctrl
Last modified: 2021-07-05 13:50:53 UTC
gnome-shell and mutter 3.3.5 After switching workspaces, mplayer window doesn't respond to mouse clicks. This is anywhere in the window, including the close button (drawn by mutter). To reproduce: 1. Play a video using mplayer (the command line one, no GUI, only shows a window with the movie). 2. Switch workspace using ctrl-alt-shift-up 3. Switch workspace back using ctrl-alt-shift-down 4. Click on in the mplayer window (right / left) 5. Click on the close button Nothing happens. Additional info: Keyboard does work though (e.g. space to pause/unpause). After using the keyboard, the mouse works again until you switch workspaces. Further, workspace switch can also be done using activities overview (it is not just ctrl-alt-shift-up which triggers this)
Just ctrl is enough actually. Do not even have to switch workspaces now to reproduce.. checking what is special about my setup to try and reproduce.

This might be related to the MPlayer svn checkin mentioned in <http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2011-December/083811.html>. Curiously, while a simple click on the close button doesn't close the MPlayer window once Ctrl was pressed, Ctrl+Click on the close button works.
I can't reproduce. I assume this was fixed at some point.
(In reply to comment #3) > I can't reproduce. I assume this was fixed at some point. I can't test with the current git master, but at least for the gnome-3-14 and gnome-3-12 branches on Fedora 20 and Fedora 21 respectively, I'm still able to reproduce the issue with the current MPlayer trunk.

Yeah, I can reproduce now. I'm going to assume it's mplayer getting confused by grabs, but I'll investigate more tomorrow.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
