Hello Qubers.

I am sorry but this is going to be a little vague as I have not been able to pinpoint much but hoping someone knows a solution or is at least having same problem.

Since updating dom0 and my appVM templates last Sunday I am having problems with windows in my appVMs being unresponsive to mouse input.  I can not scroll or select items in windows.   The menus work in so much as they show the list but clicking itemes in the menus of a window does nothing.   Trying to click X to close a window does nothing.     Some examples.  if I open Nautilus I can not select directories to change to or files to open,  firefox will not scroll windows.    The only way around this is to shutdown the problem AppVM via VM manager and try again,  some times it works first times around, some times I have to shut down the AppVM multiple times.

I'm running Qubes 3.2 with Fedora 24 and Debian 8 app templates/vms

Hi,

This is a known bug affecting Fedora-24 and Debian-8 based qubes. There
is already a fix in testing which will be pushed out soon.

In the meantime, if you do something to trigger that qube, like open a
terminal, it should give you back control.

cheers
