A little more info: 'xinput list' provides the following when the device is plugged in:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ELAN Touchscreen id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ DLL0665:01 06CB:76AD Touchpad id=14 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech K520 id=10 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech Wireless Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ GN Netcom A/S Jabra EVOLVE LINK MS id=18 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Integrated_Webcam_HD id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=15 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=17 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ UVC Camera (046d:081b) id=16 [slave keyboard (3)] "GN Netcom A/S Jabra EVOLVE LINK MS" shows up as a core pointer(!) so this is very likely related to the issue. I put the following into /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-jabra.conf: Section "InputClass" Identifier "Jabra" MatchProduct "GN Netcom A/S Jabra EVOLVE LINK MS" Option "Ignore" "on" EndSection This prevents the pointer issue described in the bug at the cost of breaking the volume control buttons. I tried using Option "ButtonMapping" "0" but this had no effect; only "Ignore" seems to work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1581626 Title: Switching to USB sound device stops USB mouse clicks from registering To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1581626/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
