** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg - At times the mouse stops responding to clicks, or will only be able to - click on things in one application. I can still move the mouse, and the - keyboard still seems to work as normal. This is following an online - update from Lucid to Maverick beta. + Following an online update from Kubuntu Lucid to Maverick beta, use of + almost any of the 'special' buttons on the keyboard (mail, home, + documents, play/pause, volume up, zoom in...) fires a ButtonPress event + (as seen by xev) for the physically left mouse button (i.e. left click + with the mouse set right-handed, 'right click' if set left-handed). + There is no corresponding ButtonRelease, so the computer acts as if that + mouse button is held down. The ButtonPress occurs between the KeyPress + and KeyRelease events of the special key. - One way that seems to reliably trigger this is to use the keyboard - 'mail' button: a right click menu appears where the mouse currently is, - then the input breaks. (The mail button launches Thunderbird) + This makes the mouse essentially unusable. So far, I've not found a way + to reset it besides logging off (i.e. restarting X). Hardware: - Basic Microsoft keyboard and mouse (optical wheel mouse, Digital Media Keyboard 3000) - Intel graphics (lspci says it's an 82G33/31 integrated graphics controller) Initially I thought the problem was related to kwin compositing (which also causes some problems, see bug 630632 ), but I've found it happening even with desktop effects turned off. I don't know if xorg is the best package to file this against, so if not, please point me in the right direction.
