But suddenly today I found my mouse works prefect in `KDE`. The problem is sometimes my clicks doesn't work. This problem will show it self especially when my pointer is on right sight of the screen, and I want to use right click. sometimes it doesn't work at all. sometimes it works but the menu will not stay for me to choose what I want. and sometimes it will suddenly choose something that I even don't know what it is! I compiled python with that `pango` patch for fonts. Is it a bug or something like this? Is there any idea about how to solve it?Tue, 02 Oct 2012 19:07:33 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/577/mouse-clicking-problem/Comment by antte for First I thought it's my mouses problem.

It seems to me to be related to using a flaoting window on another screen, this is totally annecdotal ofcourse, I don't really know which logs to look at since I'm a beginner.

It seems to me to be related to using a flaoting window on another screen, this is totally annecdotal ofcourse, I don't really know which logs to look at since I'm a beginner. There also seems to be a similar but maybe unrelated problem where i can't switch to another screen from a floating window if i press the workspace next key, nothing seems to happen. Using i3 version 4.6-1 on archlinux if that helps anyone.Tue, 17 Dec 2013 13:09:03 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/577/mouse-clicking-problem/?answer=3073#post-id-3073
