Public bug reported:
I had already filed bug 1780391 and was asked to try 18.04 instead of
16.04 to see if the problem was repeatable. I seem to have the same
symptoms as with 16.04.
First thing this morning I logged into Ubuntu 16.04 and noticed that my
mouse worked at the login prompt but not once I had logged in. As
before I have a R.A.T.7 CYBORG Dynnamic Ergonomics mouse and a more
generic Sum Vision Optical Mouse plugged into my PC. I then restarted
the PC and noticed while in the BIOS Boot menu that neither mouse worked
there, until I moved one mouse onto a different surface.
It seems that the Sum Vision mouse will not sense movement on my desk
any longer. When placed on the back of a Black n' Red hard cover note
book the Sum Vision mouse will move the pointer again. On neither
surface will the RAT 7 work. Clicking and mouse wheel scrolling seem
fine on both mice.
As already mentioned on bug #1780391 both mouse were working fine before
Friday. Unless a new cleaning fluid is being used on these office desks
or some hardware has failed, I cannot explain the change in behaviour.
I find it hard to believe that I have two intermittent mice, especially
as the semi-working one is OK on my Windows machine.
Which lead me to realise I could check both mice on the Windows laptop I
have. I get the same behaviour. The optical motion sensor on the
CYBORG RAT mouse must have just died. If it sent some strange messages,
that might be what caused any observed problems with the mouse interafce
software in Ubunut. It is strange that this failed part way though use
and that I managed to pick up a mouse that does not work on my desk (but
does work on an identical work surface in the next room) but that is the
odds I guess.
Sorry for any confusion.
