I just got the same symptoms - my culprit is an A4Tech wireless keyboard/mouse combo. As soon as the receiver for it is plugged in, all mice stop working - the left click key down even registers around 5% of the time and the key up event around 10% of the time (as shown by xev). I have the hardware available for debugging and the event is 100% reproducible on fully up-to-date Ubuntu 10.10. This wireless keyboard has 'special' keys, including: power, back, forward, refresh, home, search and email keys. Model: GLS-5.
This has nothing to do with a similar sounding flash player bug. -- left click stops working after playing sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655418 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
