aleko74's work around is fine if we are OK with not using the buttons on the headset.
Ideally I would love to use the buttons on the USB headset for mute/unmute, talk/end, vol up/down buttons. Also, I have three different USB headsets two Logitect and one plantronics and the behavior is the same. The headsets work great till I press any button on the headset. Once pressed, the mouse becomes un-clickable till I pull the headset out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1006156 Title: Mute button on USB headset steals and holds on to mouse focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/1006156/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
