(SOLVED) LMB breaks when blender or k3d is used.

[sithlord48]

Hello everyone,
I have an issue with my kubuntu desktop its LL:AMD64 with KDE:4.4.2 using the ATI driver 10.6. It seams when ever i fire up either blender or k3d after a bit of using it I will lose the ability to left click on items on the screen(but rt click works). it will sometimes appear that i have focus on another window since i will get resize pointers when i should not on occasion. i do have desktop effects on.

I have noticed this will cause LMB issues:
<>K3D: Use of MMB (not scrolling) , and possily other actions
<>Blender:Use of F12 to render scenes. and possibly MMB here too...
otherwise it will not happen.and i can happily use my computer.. if i kill blender or k3d after this happens i still can't use the LMB untill i restart kdm.

this is a bit of a strange issue and i was wondering if ne of you guys had any input as to what i should try to stop this issue (oh i did test w/ another mouse, same thing happened)

Re: LMB breaks when blender or k3d is used.

just an update now using ati driver 10.7 and kdesc 4.5 RC2 , still no change in the problem. does any one have any ideas about what might be causing this issue ?

Anything being logged when this happens?

Since you're using an xorg.conf file, you might consider defining your mouse in it and turning off auto input detect.

Re: (SOLVED) LMB breaks when blender or k3d is used.

i have fixed it and all i can tell you is that it was a problem in my ~/.kde folder. after removing that folder it works correctly.the issue remained even after reinstalling lucid form the cd. and that had me thinking since it worked on the live enviroment. what could it be well folks i have a /home partition and the .kde folder had the offending configuration file.I'm not sure what file it was since i didn't try to put any files back.
