[Bug 218684] [NEW] Firefox ignores mouse input

[Jason Harvey]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

In firefox on ubuntu hardy, the interface occasionally ignores mouse
clicks. Right clicking on a web page will not bring up context menus.
Clicking on toolbar items will cause the toolbar to highly, but not to
expand. Clicking on bookmark folders in the bookmark bar will cause the
icon to highlight, but not expand. Clicking on text fields will not
always cause them to come into focus. Right clicking in text boxes does
not always bring up context menus.


Usually trying to perform the action multiple times will cause it to start working. Also switching tabs back and forth with cause it to start working.

When the context menus or bookmark folders highlight, but not expand,
they usually stay highlighted for a few seconds, even after clicking on
items in the browser.

I have experienced this problem on two different computers with hardy
installed, both of them with the exact same symptoms. Both of those
systems originally ran Feisty, with Firefox 3, without these problems. I
have the "Normal" Visual Effects mode enabled; disabling visual effects
does not resolve the problem. Both of the systems are using the nVidia
proprietary drivers; disabling the proprietary drivers does not resolve
the problem.
