Description
RHEL Program Management
2011-04-11 08:01:16 UTC
I'm unable to verify the existence of the bug. I wiggled the mouse around on an HP dc5850 with i386 RHEL for five minutes over the course of a few hours, the cursor didn't stick. I tried to rig up a mechanical system to test it but there are more important tasks for me. If someone comes up with a reliable reproducer, I can verify the bug, until then I can only test for regressions. =\ So this bug is staying ON_QA until something changes. Built a robot to wiggle the mouse (and frequently hit the left edge) and ran it overnight. No stuck cursor after many hours. Can't confirm this one without a better reproducer. Bug confirmed while setting up robot for a four-day run! I'll test the fixed package with that instead. QA work can be so exhilarating! Verified, it ran over the weekend, didn't stick.
