From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: Sometimes the K menu in KDE hangs in the open state and blocks all mouse clicks. Pressing 'Esc' or 'Alt' is the only way to close the menu. The K menu and right-clicked context menus in the panel are affected. Window menus and context menus for other applications are NOT affected. This bug was initially reported as a kde-specific bug. Someone seems to have traced the problem to a patch for qt3.2.3 that needs to be applied See: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74392 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qt-3.2.3-0.2 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on the K Menu 2. Navigate through the menu, clicking around on sub-menus 3. Frequently, the menu will freeze up and all further mouse clicks will not be recognized. 4. Press alt or esc on the keyboard to release. This happens approx. 90% of the time I use the menu. Additional info:
I also have this behaviour. This additional behaviour is also observed: Mouse clicks on taskbar do not always respond first time. If I use the window bars in the taskbar to switch between windows, sporadically the mouse clicks on the icons are either ignored, or else the bar becomes activated, but the window is not brought forward. If I keep clicking the window is eventually activated. I installed qt 3.3 from source to test it out but I don't think it fixed this issue. I can't find any information about the apparent patch that has been applied to the mandrake rpms.
it's a know issue and was fixed in qt CVS. The qt-3.3.0 has this fix. I don't see this problem anymore with qt-3.3.0
I see this problem, KDE 3.2.2-0.1 and qt-3.3.1-0.2. Closing klipper seems to make it go away. See: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68508
