[Bug 557498] New: VMWare console continually grabs / releases input when mouse is moved when launched from Firefox 3.5.4 from openSUSE 11.2
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557498 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557498#c0 Summary: VMWare console continually grabs / releases input when mouse is moved when launched from Firefox 3.5.4 from openSUSE 11.2 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: novell_david@bailey.id.au QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-GB; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5 Using Firefox 3.5.4 from openSUSE 11.2 final, when working with a VMWare virtual machine console, the console continually grabs / releases input as you move the mouse within the console. This makes it extremely difficult to work with the virtual machine as the mouse is quite often not focused on the machine when you need it to be. Pressing <CTRL> G to force grabbing does not change this behavior. If you persist with trying to work with the VM for a period of time, the entire desktop machine seems to loose the meta keys (ie CTRL, ALT etc). So you can't use <CTRL> D for example after closing the VMWare console. If you do this in a konsole session etc, you will see a D on the screen instead of exiting that konsole session. Restarting the DE resolves this. This is reproducable across 2 machines (x86_64 and i386 installs). It is also reproducable using both KDE and Gnome DEs. The exact versions of Firefox used are: MozillaFirefox-3.5.4-1.1.2.x86_64 MozillaFirefox-3.5.4-1.1.2.i586 VMWare version: VMware Infrastructure Web Access Version 2.0.0 Build 128374 However, under Firefox 3.5.5 from the Mozilla website, the virtual machine behavior returns to normal and grabbing releasing input works correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Using Firefox 3.5.4 from openSUSE 11.2 2.Open VMWare console and attempt to work with the virtual machine 3.As mouse is moved the VM continually grabs / releases input (the status text keeps changing to confirm this) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If 3.5.5 from Mozilla works for you and even the i586 version of openSUSE's FF 3.5.4 doesn't work it's likely that openSUSE's 3.5.5 version will work for you.

I have installed the openSUSE 3.5.5 version from the Mozilla build service. It still has the same issue as the openSUSE 3.5.4 version. It would appear that it is *something* about the openSUSE version compared with the Mozilla version that is causing the issue. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

On tuesday i can test firefox ( tar.bz2 made by mozilla ) with a vmware console and firefox 3.5.5 under kde. In my case yesterday, try to manage a virtual host with console plugins doesn't allow me to login inside, each time I try to press the ctl+alt+delete I'm going outside. As this was perfectly working one week ago, (under 11.1 with the same firefox ) I've conclude this as something to be related to the kde-integration. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
