Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

A recent update of Kubuntu 10.03 beta1 has made a lesstif application, grace, unusable. Right-clicking traps the cursor within the menu, and the user is forced to switch to a text console and kill the application--or reboot.

I have filed this bug for grace as well, but Fedora developers have traced this bug back to xorg-xserver :

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543647
(see comment #32.)

The bug and the relevant patches are included in the discussion. My bug report in grace can be found here:

tar file including source code and compile options for sample app

Running into what I believe is the same issue:

Problem only occurs when trying to use Motif to display a popup menu. Mouse
cursor gets locked inside of the parent window, and the popup menu is not
displayed.

X server version:

1.7.1-9.fc12.i686

Reproducible steps:
1. Install openmotif (openmotif-2.3.2-5.fc12.i686)
2. Run test app (compile options used in "README" file)
3. right click on drawing area to bring up popup menu

Expected results: pop-up menu displays.

Additional info:
Problem does not occur using Fedora 11 (Kernel 2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.i686.PAE,
X-server version 1.6.3.901). We tried openmotif 2.3.0 and 2.3.2.

Problem does not occur using X Toolkit methods of popup creation. For example
XtMenuPopup(). Only when using motif, such as XmCreatePopupMenu().

In , Jcook5376 (jcook5376) wrote :

In some further testing, we've narrowed the problem down a bit to the XtGrabButton in RCPopup.C in the Xm library. When using motif to create a popup, using, for example XmCreatePopupMenu, it seems to use XtGrabButton. We found that if XtUngrabButton is called, the problem doesn't occur.

For example, a popup is created like so in example code:
menuRC = XmCreatePopupMenu(parent, (char*)(const char*)menuName, NULL, 0);

Then Ungrabbed immediately after:

for (i=0; i < ((_XmRowColumnRec *)menuRC)->row_column.postFromCount; i++)
{
    XtUngrabButton( ((_XmRowColumnRec *)menuRC)->row_column.postFromList[i], AnyButton, AnyModifier);
}

Now the pop-up works with mouse button 3 correctly. I'm not sure what other effects this workaround would have, but it seems to be working for us so far.

I think the fact that the bug affects Open Motif and Lesstif the same way is a clue.

from what I can tell by looking at the requests coming in, the test app in Comment #1 issues a passive grab in mode Sync.

the confine_to is part of that same grab, hence when the grab activates the cursor is confined to the window. the application never issues a AllowEvents request to the server, hence the events get queued up indefinitely.

which means either of two things:
- the app doesn't get an event that it used do get and thus doesn't trigger the AllowEvent request. In this case it's definitely the server that's at fault but the trick bit will be finding this event.
- the server does the right thing, the app just relies on previously broken behaviour.

still looking at the event stream on 1.6

I've had some reports against XWin of similar problems where the input device is frozen due a passive grab, but the application never recieves the event to cause it to request a thaw.

See http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11301

Reproduction steps:

X -query solaris10vm
start CDE session
click on one of the uparrows on the panel to expand it, launch something
note that you can interact with that application, reize etc.
go back to click on the panel
input is now frozen

Note that I can also reproduce this problem with FC12 xorg-x11-xserver-Xorg-1.7.5-1, so this doesn't seem to be a XWin-specific problem.

Not sure who this question is directed at, but for the avoidance of doubt, the CDE panel does not work correctly with either version of the patch applied.

(The behaviour is changed slightly vs. unpatched 1.7.5 in that the input freeze doesn't occur until the second interaction with the panel)

Another, possibly related test:

1. flash plugin in firefox

2. right-click context-menu -> settings

3. try to click "close"

there are 3 possibilities:

1. works fine

2. replayed click ignored, second one works - if wm releases grab

3. click never works - if wm doesn't release grab

icewm also works fine again with reverted patch (problem was in task bar
not receiving replayed event -- because taskbar is also a toplevel window).

re: #26

I'm not sure this is an X server bug or a bug in firefox or flash plugin.

Proper behavior would be 1, but currently (with revert) it's 2 (metacity)
or 3 (current icewm which never releases the button grabs).

If I understand correctly, CDE is broken in 1.7.5 already. So it does not matter whether the patch is applied or not in that regard.
But as it fixes other issues and does not worsen CDE's situation it might be good to apply it.

It's not related to the nvidia driver, but to the xorg package.

The fix is to rebuild the xorg package xorg-xserver-base with the patch as discussed on the xorg upstream bug. I obtained the patch through here: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2010-February/005845.html (see attachments)

rebuilt with

- aptitude source xorg-xserver-base
- prepared package according to http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rebuilding-ubuntu-debian-linux-binary-package/
- applied patch manually (didn't pick it up automatically, but that's due to my lack of experience with debian source packages)
- built packages
- installed with dpkg -i

This is a critical bug for anybody using motif applications (nedit and plenty of others).
It would be nice if the patch could be reviewed and applied in an update quickly - it's preventing us from upgrading the office to 10.04 at the moment.

That deb works for me too. I don't understand why the 3.7.4 deb works on Lucid when the 3.7.4 I compiled myself doesn't work, or why it would make a difference if the bug is really in the X server. But it might help as a temporary workaround for those who don't want to recompile X.

So, just to be pedantic, where are we on this?

Sebastien, you asked Chris to sponsor this... were you talking to me or another Chris? Has it been appropriately sponsored?

Timo says it's now in the proposed queue... does that mean there's nothing left to do but wait for the queue to be acted upon?

I mis-clicked and switched this to "Fix-released" but I don't seem to be able to change this back. I was surprised that I was able to make this change.
Anyways, thanks for working on this. I look forward to seeing it make its way out of proposed and into stable.

Unfortunately following the Ubuntu 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7.4 update, it appears to have caused the similar instability in the following wireless mouse.

After 20-30s the cursor freezes, however both left mouse buttons are operational and bring up and close menus within Gnome.

input: HID 2c1a:0000 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0a.1/0000:06:00.1/usb4/4-1/4-1:1.0/input/input1

2c1a Dolphin Peripherals
 0000 Wireless Optical Mouse

`cat /dev/input/event1 ` show activity on all mouse events but these are not visible in the form of cursor movement on the X display.

This mouse was fully functional before the update.

Steve, you should probably file a new bug. This one is closed, and the problem it was meant to solve was fixed.
