GTK bug : mouse clicks does nothing after a while

Hi,

after a while (a few hours) my left/right mouse clicks becomes inactive but the cursor is still moving. To place the focus on another application, I need alt+tab in kde (not working in gnome when that occurs)

Then, if I open xev(1) and clicking inside the square, nothings appears, like if I type with the keyboard.

That occurs both with kde & gnome, so it's WM agnostic.

I tried to change my mouse with another one with the same results, so that's not a mouse hardware problem.

The problem was encountered in February in this post : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=113536 (a workaround is to downgrading bash and gtkhtml, but I'd like to avoid downgrading bash and I don't have gtkhtml)

A bug report was done 2 days after the post : https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22924 with no clue

A guy encountered that in fedora too, see http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showth … p?t=272074

Some informations :
- gimp STDERR (filtered for uniq lines) when the problem occurs 20111213 and when I try to click anything in any window (for no apparent reason)

(gimp:24889): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_window_get_events: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed
(gimp:24889): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
(gimp:24889): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

- libgdk-x11-2.0.so from gtk2 2.24.8
- the (I presume) method IA__gdk_window_get_events is present in /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so ( strings /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so | grep IA__gdk_window_get_events )
- I use arch x86-64
- bash 4.2.20
- xorg version :

$ pacman -Q | grep xorg
xorg-bdftopcf 1.0.3-1
xorg-fonts-alias 1.0.2-2
