Compiz changes mouse settings

[mklein59]

I just downloaded and compiled compiz 0.3.4. It installed ok, and seems to run fine. However, when I left click it will take screenshots. If I hold the control button down, then the mouse seems to work fine. This is also the case for the right mouse button. Any ideas? :?:

I'm having the exact same issue. I'm currently using openSUSE 10.2 and found no reference to Button1 being used solely for taking screenshots nor Ctrl-Button1 being relegated to normal mouse left-clicks. In using openSUSE, if I go to Yast2 > Hardware > Mouse, a mouse image allows the user to click on various buttons, highlighting the specific button being pressed. Sure enough, if I left-click, the left button doesn't highlight. I'm required to hold down Ctrl before the event will register. At the Account Login screen (before going to desktop), I'm able to left-click w/o the Ctrl key.

Everything compiz seems to work just fine outside of this. I'm anxious to see if this was indeed introduced by compiz.

Thanks for your help in advance guys!

If I understand right, the problem is that the first click for a screenshot actually gets sent to the application under it.

It is a very strange problem and it also happend with cube rotate and annotate.

The fix is easy, just a case of returning false instead of true in the initiate function. Not sure why all of these actions pass through their clicks, maybe there was an original reason.

I have it on my list to send patches for, but if anyone else would like to have a go they are more than welcome :)

I'm not sure, but you may be confused as to what's actually happening. I'm not intending to take a screenshot and probably will try disabling that function all together. I'm simply trying to navigate the desktop (suse menus, tray icons, browser, etc.). To do simple navigation, I must hold the Control key down, or the left-clicks do not register.

What the left-click-only (w/o using Control key) currently does is allow me to draw a selection box on the desktop and then immediately produces a screenshot from my selection box.

Other left-click combos work...Ctrl-Alt-leftclick allows me to spin the cube to another desktop. Nevertheless, I'd like to simply navigate my application menus, etc. w/o having to place a paperweight on the Ctrl key :)

Sorry, yes I think I misunderstood...

I think I saw this problem on this forum before but I cannot remember the solution.
