           Summary: adding new calendar event sometimes grabs mouse and
                    prevents  its use completely
           Product: gpe-calendar
           Version: 0.91
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P4
         Component: default
        AssignedTo: gpe-bugs at linuxtogo.org
        ReportedBy: timo.lindfors at iki.fi
   Estimated Hours: 0.0

I reported this bug to debian but since it is probably not debian specific I'll
attach a copy for upstream too:

Package: gpe-calendar
Version: 0.91-3+b1
Severity: normal

Sometimes when I try to add a new calendar event by clicking daily
view gpe-calendar opens "New event" window but I am unable to do
anything with mouse. I have not managed to find a reliable way to
reproduce this bug but I have hit it now three times so I thought it'd
be worth to report.

If I start xev it is unable to get mouse events. If I strace
gpe-calendar I can see activity when I click its window. However, for
example the "Cancel" or "Save" buttons don't react in any way.

On my openmoko neo freerunner I do not have a keyboard so it is
impossible for me to kill gpe-calendar when it grabs my mouse. My only
choice is to connect the phone to a PC and kill gpe-calendar. If I am
away from my computer I need to take out the battery to reboot it.

I read gpe-calendar source code and noticed that there is only one
case that grabs pointer. Namely button_press_event calls

gdk_pointer_grab (widget->window, FALSE,
                  GDK_BUTTON1_MOTION_MASK
                  | GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE_MASK
                  | GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY_MASK
                  | GDK_LEAVE_NOTIFY_MASK,
                  NULL, NULL,
                  event->time);

and button_release_event is supposed to

gdk_display_pointer_ungrab (gtk_widget_get_display (widget),
                            event->time);

it. Any idea what could be going on? I'll

DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip debug noopt" fakeroot apt-get --build source
gpe-calendar

and hope that I hit the bug again so that I can see what's going on
with a debugger.
