Created attachment 6442 session log Dear all, still not found a way to reproduce exactly the issue, but since it happen at least now 2 times per day, i fill a bug about it, maybe you xfwm experts could have some idea about. In a casual moment, but clicking with the mouse, the cursor change from arrow to cross (move). There is not way to come back to the normal cursor until i don't kill xfce4-session from a virtual console (ALT+F1). In the cursor "cross" state, the windows manager seems working still, windows borders and everything looks the same, but i can't anymore focus to anything. Cursor moves, but clicking the mouse can't unlock in any the state of the cursor. The keyboard also seems not able to unlock the state, only action possible from the keyboard seems ALT-TAB or in general ALT+X combinations. None of those actions can unlock the cursor state. I attach an .xsession-errors that should contain details, at least it is on the same day where issue happen. Important notes: i am currently using Logitech K520 wireless keyboard and mouse kit. System setting set as "Logitech Unifying device" If possible, as a temporary solution, a workaround to unlock without killling the session would be great. Keyboard has been set to Logitech Cordless Desktop (Italiana).

As suggested in irc channel, tested xfwm 4.12.3. Changed also mouse battery. Issue happen in the same way.
Please provide a way to reproduce.
(In reply to Olivier Fourdan from comment #2) > Please provide a way to reproduce. Sorry my bad, xfwm4-4.12.3 does *not* contain the fix I was thinking about (that would explai nthe behavior you see). Any chance that you try xfwm4 from git master, or alternatively add this patch to you 4.12.3 build: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/commit/?id=71d37e11 And retry? I am pretty sure this is your problem.
As suggested on IRC, applied the suggested patch (should be as per last git code), built, and issues seems not happening anymore.
