When pushing a key... mouse can't move

[PauGNU]

Hi

I have an annoying problem with my mouse and keyboard on my MacBookPro. When I'm pushing a key (anyone), I can't move the pointer, there is no reponse until I stop pushing that key.

Could someone help me?

Thanks!

I am having the SAME issue right now, and it's really aggravating. I have a DELL XPS M1710... Does ANYONE have a solution to this?

I think I found the issue. I didn't realize this happening until I tried to setup the wii remote as a mouse.

After removing mouseemu, everything was fine again.

sudo apt-get remove mouseemu

This problem can be fixed easily.

gksu gedit /etc/default/mouseemu

So it looks like:

# Defaults for mouseemu initscript (/etc/init.d/mouseemu)
# These are the default values on PowerPC. On all other architectures
# middle and right click are disabled by default. 
# Key codes can be found in include/linux/input.h in the kernel headers
# or by using `showkey` in a console.


#MID_CLICK="-middle 0 87"         # F11 with no modifier
#MID_CLICK="-middle 125 272"      # Left Apple Key (LEFTMETA) + click
#RIGHT_CLICK="-right 0 88"        # F12 with no modifier
#RIGHT_CLICK="-right 29 272"      # Left Ctrl + click
#SCROLL="-scroll 56"              # Alt key
TYPING_BLOCK="-typing-block 000"  # don't block mouse after a keypress

Note the typing block has been reduced from 300ms to 0.
Then just restart X / Ubuntu and all should be good again.
