When I have moved so window from one workspace to another the mouse-pointer get stuck in 'moving windows mode' (A hand, not an arrow) and I can't do anything in my 4 desktop view that I cannot leave. Have to make a hard reboot :( I don't know if I have happen to touch any key or someting? Is there a way to leave it?


/Cheers

The Esc key should terminate the expo mode
Maybe there is an issue with your mouse, which one

(- I just replaced a mis-behaving wireless mouse last night, it's issues were with left clicks sometimes not registering, freewheeling scroll not so freewheeling any more. Though I do remember at times it would temp get stuck on hand but clicking a number of times would fix that.

No, ecape [esc], did not work. I has only happens a few times, since june 2014, so it's hard to reproduce :( But next time I gone to remove my wireless keyboard with scroll-well and se if it may be there, the problem is.

Have encountered this occasionally and hitting Super+s a couple of times
takes you out of it.
