Last modified: 2009-09-25 03:30:44 EDT
Description of problem: I might not be filing this under the right component, sorry. I'll need help debugging the issue too. Basically, any time i hit a key my mouse delays by 1-2 seconds Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Latest f11, all updates How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.hit a keyboard button, try ctr for example 2.try to move your mouse at the same time 3.try to click (open a new tab, for example in FF) 4. whatever, notice the short delay. Actual results: When you try to use the mouse after the key press, it doesn't function until after the delay. Any actions are lost / ignored. Expected results: no delay Additional info: I have a lenovo T61 Thinkpad, intel graphics, red hat issued.
Any ideas here? It's still affecting me.
is it _any_ key or just the ctrl key? What's the output of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse
/me guesses the "locate mouse pointer" feature is enabled.
Locate Mouse Pointer option is disabled. [cward@cward ~]# gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse double_click = 400 left_handed = false motion_threshold = -1 locate_pointer = false single_click = true cursor_size = 24 drag_threshold = 8 motion_acceleration = 1.384615421295166 cursor_font = (no value set) cursor_theme = Bluecurve AH HA! I figured it out though. The issue was only occurring when using my laptop keyboard and /Touchpad/ mouse. So i looked in the mouse options and found an option 'Disable touchpad while typing.' It was enabled. I disabled this and the delay went away. Man that delay was annoying. It happens when you press /ANY/ key what-so-ever. Everything hangs for about 1/2 second -> 1 second then resumes. I'm wondering still whether that's what's suppose to happen or not. Seems like it definitely shouldn't.
