Hi All,
This bug has just started to affect me i have some details that might
help diagnose this though i am surprised that a bug like this has been
open since 2006........?
Right my hardware spec has been the same for some time and i never
received this bug. I have recently due to motherboard failure upgraded
the hardware without reinstalling 13.04 and this bug has appeared.
Symptoms mouse click stops working though some areas of the screen are
still accessible like the side bar. Max min and exit buttons do not
work. interaction in the screen is flaky.
Hardware (Changed) as follows :
1x Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 Motherboard
(I suspect the problem exists here. Note i had to enable IOMMU to get
USB2 sockets to work at all)
1x AMD FX-8350 4GHz
1x Corsair Vengeance 8GB
Hardware (Not Changed) :
1x Patriot GTX 650 TI Boost
1x Agility 240Gb SSD
2x Western Digital 320Gb LVM Mirrored
Logitec Desktop Combi mouse and Keyboard.
Interesting after fact: I though that the issue might be to do with some
corruption in the install so i inserted a 13.04 install disk. And the issue is
present in this too. Will see if i can record the screen and tag it to this bug.
However i fear that this bug is being pushed aside.
Can i ask all those who have the issue to post their hardware details
particularly Motherboard/CPU/GPU.

Bug description:
This bug is a long standing one for me in Dapper but it becomes more
and more frequent in recent Dapper beta.
Unfortunatly, there's no way I can reproduce it.
Symptoms : the mouse buttons (all of them) stop working without any reason.
Seems to happen mainly when surfing with Epiphany but not only.
In fact, it's just like my mouse was in another dimension. I use "focus
follow pointer" and it doesn't work anymore. I can see my cursor and moving it
: the system just ignore it. No more click, no more focus following pointer.
Also, the keyboard keeps working perfectly. By using shortcut keys, I
can continue working normally.
The workaround to have the mouse again is hopefully very simple : use
the change desktop shortcut. The alt-tab shortcut is also working.
Yes, it's strange, but they are the only two shortcuts I've found that
bypass this bug ! Strange isn't it ?
My mouse is a PS/2 Logitech MX310. The workaround seems to be the
proof that it's not an hardware failure.
