Bug Description

When I enable the control of the mouse with the numéric pad of the keyboard (in gnome menu : Système>preferences>accessibility>keyboard), X server crash when I do a drag&drop.

A way to reproduce this bug :
- press "5" on the numeric pad (on the right of the keyboard)
- keep pressing "5" and press "4"
- keep pressing "4" and press out "5"
- press out "4"

I use Dapper and Gnome. I am not sure about the concerned package, maybe at-spi?

Thanks for your bug report. Do you still have the problem with Dapper or Edgy?

It was with dapper with hard install and with the livecd. I didn't install edgy yet, but with the edgy livecd the problem doesn't occur. What should we do, close the bug or wait for installing edgy to confirm it's fix?

I have upgraded to Edgy today, and this bug disappear. In fact the drag&drop functionality was simply removed, that is why there is no longer the bug. It's not perfect (missing drag&drop with the keyboard) but it is much better than before!
