I'v had this bug a couple of times, Might have a bit more to add. Seems to happen to me when using edit boxes, best description I can give is appears that a left mouse button up even is lost, so as i move the mouse pointer around text is selected from the point where the left mouse button event occurred. right click will bring up a context menu but left clicks are ignored. I can tab out of the edit box and the text select stops but no left mouse clicks register. I think that pressing/holding a key on the keypad at the same time as when right clicking followed by a left click or some mixture if the three. I use a wireless trackball which I tent to have sitting on the bottom edge of my laptop, The bug seems to happen when I right click and the mouse slips onto the key pad.
I know this is vague as hell but this is a infrequent occurrence and hard to fault find when your mouse not working. The latest time I managed to get the mouse back but could not tell you how as i was pressing alt shift and function keys randomly trying to get a text session so i could reboot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573924 Title: Losing left mouse button(s) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
