Mouse on the panel are not honored, mouse clicks on applications and on the desktop work
Submitted by Ada..@..gmx.de
Description
This bug report pertains to xfce4 on Xubuntu 16.04.6 under Xubuntu 16.0.6 LTS currently under Linux kernel 4.4.0-145-generic x86_64.
It happened during my work that any mouse click directed to the xfce panel was not honored at all. Mouse clicks on the applications worked as usual. I also could start a terminal by right clicking on the desktop area and selecting a terminal window there. In unsure whether this is a bug of xfvce4-panel or one of xfwm4.
When I had the problem, I opened a command window and tried this command there:
$ xfwm4 –replace
Waiting for current window manager (Xfwm4) on screen :0.0 to exit:But it did not come to an end. When I had started a GUI based task manager, I could kill xfwm4, but another one was immediately started.
I was unable to access the button to shut down the computer, so I used the power button for that purpose. After I had rebooted, the system worked as it did before this bug happened. Unfortunately I can not give any more information about this bug (except if you tell me to search in special log files if there may be any interesting traces).
