Killing steam resolves your mouse issue straight away? Would you attach your system information report as we ask…
Hi, yes, killing Steam instantly resolves the mouse issue.
#2365 isn't my issue. Everything works well until Steam just freezes... It even freezes when I just open it and left it background for time mentioned above. I haven't found any specified case when this bug happens.

Hi, I just wanted to tell that I have found solution for my problem. That problem wasn't caused by bug in Steam but by AMD's driver leftovers and solution is to totally remove AMD grapichs card driver and all related packages from system and make fresh install of drivers. Here's how-to : http://askubuntu.com/questions/68306/how-do-i-remove-the-propretary-ati-drivers
This issue can be closed.
I'm having this problem whenever I try to paste text into a textbox. This happens every time I've tried it in the forums. The only other place I've tried it is the search box in the library but that worked fine. Reinstalling video card drivers may not work for me. Last time I tried uninstalling them it wrecked my OS. Nvidia, **** you.
Kubuntu 13.04
GTX 560, 313 driver
Closing as the original issue appears to have been a video driver issue from 2013. If anyone is still experiencing this issue with an up to date system, please open a new issue report.
This still happens. Ubuntu 18.04 with Nvidia 460.80 drivers here. Often have to unplug and replug my mouse to gain control again. Happens when Steam is open but while not playing a game. Sometimes also causes my keyboard to reinitialize (I see numpad flicker off and on again two times), which can cause key sticking (for example ctrl+tab in a browser window, really annoying).
I have no idea how to debug this though. It's WEIRD.
I have this issue now as well on my Pop OS.
22.04 LTS x86_64,
Kernel: 6.6.10-76060610-generic
GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX Vega 56/64
Randomly on start of steam app my mouse would lock at some specific location of the screen where steam app is running in. (i have two displays)
When i try to move the mouse pointer it reacts and wishes to move but it behaves like ti is pulled magnetically to the same spot and flickers.
When i manage to pull pointer off to another screen it just reset it back to steam app.
Really annoying.
Nothing extracted yet.
Hi, this bug have been around since Steam for Linux was released and still exits so I think that this bug isn't still discovered.
I have fully updated Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit and AMD 6950 grapichs card with latest stable drivers from AMD website. This bug exits with all AMD drivers offered by Ubuntu 12.04 and at least with newest drivers (beta and stable) from AMD website.
Here's the bug: First Steam works just perfectly but after some time of usage (something like 10-15 minutes) Steam just stops responding mouse and keyboard and only way to solve this is close Steam via ctrl+f4 or via system monitor by terminating Steam process. During Steams unresponsivess my computer mouse stops working with other applications too but keyboard still works. This bug makes Steam for Linux pretty useless for me since I have to kill and restart it all the time. Btw sorry for my english. I wish that you can still understand what I want to tell you :)
Here's my terminal input during some random Steam usage which ends to bug mentioned above:
