Public bug reported: Hi team, Well done on such an amazing platform :).
id like to report a bug In Ubuntu 10.04 & 10.10 and Xubuntu 10.04 that affects how UI elements respond to the left mouse button. Im experiencing issues with firefox tabs intermittently closing when i left click them, it doesnt matter what the page content is simple or flash or if my CPU is under load or not. ive tried changing all of the touchpad settings on my laptop but to no avail (currently i have disable mouse when typing enabled, disable double tap left click and disable trackpad scrolling). The mouse is also causing problems when typing, if im using open office or office 2007 in wine/crossover linux and am typing in the input area, when i left click within the input area text will randomly paste into the existing text, some times its from the clipboard other times it will be part of the sentence i last typed. this issue also happens in firefox when using HTML input boxes. ive looked around and im not the only person this is happening to: http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1654965 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1658744 http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1654965 Im using a Compaq Presario C500 with a core2duo processor, 2gb of ram and intel graphics card.
