Can it be done? If so, how?
I never lock session on purpose.
It's extremely irritating that it's placed there at all, much less right on
top of log out. I try to log out, I put the pointer over log out, I click,
and half the time the pointer moves as I click to selecting lock session
instead of log out.
Try moving through the menu choices from the keyboard, using tab (forward) and
shift-tab (backwards), and space bar to click. Or you could try using mouse
keys (if you have them enabled).
I doubt this would solve your problem; I am trying to imagine what you mean,
as it hasn't happened to me. However, if you can do this through the
keyboard, then it might give you a clue to the problem, as something else
might be interfering with your mouse.
It might be that I have a similar problem. Every so often (maybe once out of
every dozen or so times that I boot up), I cannot access the upper left-hand
corner of my screen (maybe one-fourth of the entire screen). I finally
figured out - or so I think - that I have set Open Office to start up when
the computer boots, and the "restore session" dialog box is about the same
size as the portion of the screen that I couldn't access in other windows.
Apparently the dialog box was acting like a ghost in other windows. However,
I could access the menu choices in the upper left hand corner by using the
keyboard and/or mouse keys on the num pad.
It sounds like your issue is fundamentally different from mine, but you might
still be able to use the keyboard for these functions, and that might yield
more information about your issue.
