Comment 26 for bug 375905

I can confirm this bug exists on 11.10 ( upgraded from Natty ). Had the same problem on Natty, was hoping it would get fixed with the upgrade but it didn't. On a Thinkpad T410 with only the built-in trackpad. No external mouse/trackpad. This is an extremely frustrating bug that requires me to reboot everytime it happens. Mouse and keyboard have different focus and they are locked in. This has happened in Terminal and Firefox mainly. This is an extremely frustrating bug where only a reboot seems to be the way out. These are the last few lines in Xorg.0.log :
