Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse
Hello! I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 guest OS + Vmware Tools on WinXP host. xserver- xorg-input-vmmouse helps me getting a seamless mouse between guest and host, but there is an annoying issue: Whenever I press the left or the right mouse button, another "left- click-event" is sent instantly after release of the button. In the terminal this results in: normal leftclick -> marks a whole line normal rightclick -> opens context menu and instantly executed first entry ("open terminal") press left button, wait -> mark some characters, stay over them... release -> marked characters are in clipboard press right button, wait -> context menu opens, move around and stay over an arbitrary entry... release -> this entry is executed In general, it's clear that it's not easy to work with this strange behaviour :-) Maybe it's even an additional "left-click-event" after each click- event, e.g. after clicking the middle mouse button, too. But I don't know how to test this. The problem spontaneously appears as "single click taken as double click", and I found another person who experienced it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse/+bug/248521/comments/54 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse/+bug/248521/comments/58 But, in contrast to him, I had no success by modifying my xorg.conf. I even deleted all Input Devices but it did not help. To get the desired mouse behaviour back, I had to remove xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse. But this is not what I want :-) I almost have no idea how do debug such input device related stuff. Please request logs/infos you need! I will deliver them asap.
