Keyboard system lock-out with latest in Ubuntu 14.04

This is a nasty one, and very hard to track down. After playing for a while and pulling down the console with ` a few times, keyboard and mouse input will stop being accepted, which means I can't quit the application, alt-tab out and kill the process, or much of anything else. Ctrl-Alt-F1/F2/F3 etc to bring up text mode terminals works, but no keyboard input is accepted beyond that. I just have to hard-restart the machine.

I'm running from git commit 5a0f1a882a5b1e10c31db0bcdadf5703abbb3bfc, though I've been seeing this for the past couple of weeks from a few previous commits. Nothing non-standard about my setup really, Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit with an Nvidia GTX 660 graphics card. I've never been able to get this bug to occur in ZDoom latest; it seems to be GZDoom-specific.

I realize I don't have a log or debugger access when the bug happens, but please let me know what kind of info I could maybe provide to help track this down, as well as any more specific repro advice than what I've given.

I'm afraid there isn't much that can be done on my side. I don't use Linux so I can't test it. You need to be very lucky to find someone who also experiences this and can debug it. It's probably related to some driver issue because aside from initializing OpenGL the code is exactly the same as in ZDoom.

I noticed this recently, but my mouse is not locked, so I can click the 'exit' button to close. I can reproduce this also in zandronum, so it's hard to tell if it's gzdoom or the sdl package ... I have to find a way to debug this...

[edit]I can reproduce this also in zdoom, I'll open a bug report at the other forum.

In that case I'm closing this one.
