Had an issue very similar to what is described above. - mouse would either stop working or become "trapped" within a certain element of a window. - mouse would move around screen fine, but clicks would only effect wherever it was "trapped" - alt + tab would sometimes fix problem - occurred in Ubuntu 9.10 and persisted through upgrade to 10.4 - happened for me at EVERY login, though sometimes I could open a window or two before it began - unplug then replug mouse in would sometimes be a temp fix, but the issue would come up again quickly
One thing I noticed that was pretty common among posts is that many people were using a Logitech mouse, I was too: Logitech MX518 USB mouse. Switched mouse out for basic HP PS/2 mouse connected through PS/2 to USB converter and issue cleared up COMPLETELY. New mouse works fine. Another Note, the Logitech MX518 that was giving me the issue with Ubuntu works fine with Windows XP. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41301 Title: Mouse clicks stop working sporadically _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
