Highlight visible click disrupts mouse click/drag

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Start key-mon.
2.Open OpenOffice.org Spreadsheets
3.Try to select multiple cells by clicking the mouse and dragging to select.
4.Only the First cell is highlighted.

5. Try to select an option from the menu (file, view, etc.)
6. The menu does not open.

Please provide any additional information below.
Does not seem to be a problem with other applications I use that require a 
mouse-click an drag to perform an action, for example painting in gimp does not 
cause a problem.

Wow, weird.
I'll take a look, are you using Ubuntu.

Issue 81 has been merged into this issue.

I can also confirm this with LibreOffice 3.3.1 *if* "Highlight visible click" 
is enabled. Issue 81 shows similar issue. Both have something to do with 
"Highlight visible click."

The issue should not be the program you use but the visible click issue. If I 
recall correctly, with xlib using C, there is actually two type of masks, one 
is for window shape, the other is for input event. But in gtk there seems to be 
only one mask.

If you just start key-mon, and do a text on any kind of program, it doesn't 
seem to work at first. But if you then click very fast for a couple of time, it 
would work. Still not work for selecting cell in LibreOffice/OpenOffice.

I would guess even we have mask set for the red circle, but input event will 
still be sending to our red circle window instead of the program beneath. And 
somehow some can slip through.

It's working for me in libre office calc 3.3.3, I wasn't able to reproduce.  
I'll keep trying.

Hmm... maybe also window manager does matter?

I use dwm and I have find something strange about it. When a floating window is 
restored to normal from fullscreen, it will be pushed down for the same height 
as dwm bar, i.e. `y += topbar_height;`
