Description Lionel Elie Mamane 2012-10-08 23:49:53 UTC
The ungrab action (XF86Ungrab, bound to CTRL-ALT-KeyPad/ on my machine) plainly does not work.

On the other hand, the clear ClearGrabs action works and kills the grabbing processes.
Comment 1 Lionel Elie Mamane 2012-10-08 23:51:20 UTC
Version info: 1.12.3, but that choice does not appear in "Version" listbox on bugzilla.

Other people on the Interwebs seems to report the same problem:
