<html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></style></head><body><div style=""><span style="font-size: 16px;">On my machine F6 doesn't work at all. Nothing happens to alsamixer. </span><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div style=""><span style="font-size: 16px;">I am aware that alsamixer is not mouse-friendly, and I do not try to control alsamixer with the mouse. On the other hand, alsamixer seems to interfere with my mouse. </span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">Steps to reproduce mouse freeze: </div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">(1) open terminal</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">(2) start alsamixer</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">(3) press the F6 key</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">That's it. After that the mouse freezes into whatever position it is in on the screen and cannot be moved. </div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">Pressing ESC to get out of alsamixer does not make the mouse able to move. Neither does closing the terminal where alsamixer was running. The mouse is frozen into position, and I can do nothing to make the mouse active again but reboot. </div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">If this problem were more universal, I imagine there would be lots of complaints. Since I seem to be the only one, I understand the skepticism. </div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">Susan Cragin</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;"><br></div></div></body></html>
