Bug Description

[Impact]
Since upgrade to oneiric (transgui 3.1) the problem began to happen: _very often_ (like 90% of the time), after a few mouse actions the focus for keyboard events and mouse events gets "stuck" in the pane displaying the list of torrents. After I open an options window, and try to click on any elements, some element of the torrent list pane gets activated instead. Same if I try to click elements in the main window but outside the torrent list. Clicking on the torrents in the list, and on the title elements (to change sorting order) work as expected. Even clicking on the "close window" decoration button of the options window does not have any effect. But "close window" of the main window works.

[development fix]
This bug has been fixed in Precise with version 3.1+svn607-1ubuntu2. Diff from ..ubuntu1 to ..ubuntu2 is a minimal patch from upstream.

[stable fix]
Use the attached path, or use the package in Precise.

[Test case]
Click around, open windows and check that keyboard and mouse events are not stuck in some part of the main window.

[regression potential]
It is very unlikely that this wil cause any kind of problem for other applications. Transgui has no reverse deps, and all the patch does is disable overlay scrollbars inside transgui.

I have slightly different behaviour. Whenever any dialog window open the application gets stuck. It looks like the new dialog window does not receive any mouse events. When i try to click anywhere the clicks are intercepted by the parent window however they are not interpreted. It is 100% replicable here.

Note to sponsorship reviewer: I know you guys prefer bugs to be fixed in ubuntu+1 first, but the attached patch will very soon be uploaded to debian unstable, and thus be included in the debian sync.

Installed the package from comment #5, focus no longer stuck but without the overlay scrollbars the application looks out of line with the rest of the desktop. Is the disablement of the overlay scrollbars supposed to be a temporary workaround or a final fix?
