Public bug reported:
Every so often the desktop takes on a mind of its own and starts doing random
phantom mouse clicks.
Sometimes it gets so bad I end up booting into Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS which is dead
stable.
Content menus start popping up as if a phantom was clicking the right mouse
button. If I'm unlucky sometimes it also actions one of those menu items and
ends up generating a "New folder" on my desktop.
If I'm in Notepadqq editing a document random edits sometimes occur whilst I'm
typing, at which point I've have enough and shut down the system before it does
something I don't notice like deleting stuff.
Last time this happened I had just opened up a 12MB file in Notepadqq which
seemed to kick it off. Laptop fans also came on so the system was under duress
as well doing something.
A few logouts and reboots and it was still occurring with the system just sat
at the desktop.
22.04.5 LTS never has this problem - I'm entering this report using
22.04.5 to do it.
I've seen a few other bug reports of mouse issues but nothing exactly
like this, so logged it in case others are seeing a similar problem.
22.04.5 LTS and 24.04.5 LTS fully updated as well.
