Hello;
No mods, I tried a fresh install with the same results (I just purchased in a few days after this version came out, so I have no experience with other versions). I played a few times with different worlds/saves and it happened each time. Which again points to my machine. I'll admit it is an older computer:
Core 2 Duo 6400
Nvidia 570
6GB RAM
uname = Linux XXXXX 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1 (2015-05-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Its LMDE2 tracking debian stable.
The computer age is probably the problem. I'd also note that the freeze up is random, I just played over an hour, no problems. If it happens though, it's usually within the first 30 min. I was not very clear about that in my first post. My apologies.
I'll keep poking around. With regards to it freezing on a selection, it just came to mind that I do have a modified 10-evdev.conf for my mouse (its a trackball - I emulate a wheel scroll by holding down a small button and move the ball to scroll), but I've had that conf modification for years (probably 5-ish) with no issues. It's a known conf file change and is well documented in places like the Arch wiki, but since the issue involves clicking on something, I'll have to look into it and see if there were any major changes to the way X11 handles those settings with the upgrade to LMDE2. It seems a little far out there, but it is my best guess, and as you pointed out, it could likely be something fairly system specific (not a lot of trackball users, I suspect).
Thank you.
