Title:
  Ubuntu 11.10 - Mouse does not click inside applications

Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Only recently (around a couple of months ago), I installed Ubuntu and
  I currently use a dual-boot PC that has both Windows 7 and Ubuntu
  11.10.

  The problem I've been facing is that, when I run Ubuntu 11.10 (whether
  installed or just off the USB), an awful lot of the time, the mouse
  works fine but does not click inside applications.

  For example, I perfectly able to click on the network settings on the
  top-right corner, and it works fine.

  But if there is anything that opens up a new window, the mouse is not
  functional in that window.

  So, I can click on the Firefox icon for example, and it would load.
  However, any clicking in the new window that pops up would not do
  anything. I can't click on the Google search text box, so I'd have to
  keep hitting 'Tab' to get there, and then type. The keyboard works
  fine.

  It's the same with anything really, not just Firefox. If I click on My
  Files, the window pops up, but I can't click on any icon in there. It
  just doesn't react.

  Apparently a few others have also had my problem. These are the cases I've 
found after searching:

  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1863100

  Allow me to point out that  very, very rarely, the exact opposite
  happens. Say I am in Firefox, I can ONLY click inside Firefox. Any
  click outside of its window will be disregarded. In fact, I can't even
  click 'x' to close it.

  Unfortunately I haven't stumbled upon a solution to this problem after
  searching, so I'm curious to know why this happens to just a few of
  us, and how I might be able to fix this issue.

  Thanks in advance!
