| Nov 17, 2012 at 19:40 | comment | added | imz -- Ivan Zakharyaschev | Can the pointer grabbing problem described here and the problem described as "pointer not moving anymore" there have the same source: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/… , bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1035208 , bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/… . With that problem, switching to another linux virtual console and back to X helped. Does switching virtual consoles help with "grabbing"? | |

| Jun 12, 2012 at 22:53 | comment | added | Juliano | I started having this problem with Firefox 13, and a web search brought me to this question. Are you by any chance using the Tree Style Tabs extension? It seems to be some problem with dragging tabs. | |
