It works on mine. Could you tell me the version of xfwm4 you have? (xfwm4 -V)

Well, the question is aimed at the original reporter.

Of course it works for me, what is described makes the window manager unusable, I would certainly not have released a stable version if such a bug was reproducible for me... That's not the point.

The descriptions really looks like is some other app had an active grab on the pointer/keyboard, so I would suggest to start investigating with a very simple, basic session and try to isolate other apps as a start.

My apologies, I misread the name, I was intending my message to go to muemarco@gmail.com

Created attachment 3880 
auxwww output

output of the command auxww

Actually this occured on my older Notebook, I guess there I had xfce version 4.6.
Maybe the error doesn't occur in the newer versions. Since I installed 4.8.0 I never had such a problem.

Hi,

Is it possible it's a broken configuration? Xfconf settings should be reset, however there is no proper way doing it automatically.

The following command should clear all existing settings for xfwm4:

  xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -r -R -p /

Before running this command, can you attach the following file to this bug?

 ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfwm4.xml

Thank you,
Mike

Hi,

This report was made against Xfce 4.6 and would not be reproduced by the OP. I am in favour of closing the report as FIXED but will leave it open for a while if someone wants to help diagnose it.

Thanks,

Closing as we had no activity and could not reproduce for 3+ years now.
