Events in xev work when the mouse is working properly. However, when it isn't, the button clicks are not always seen in xev. Clicking a second time or with the other button sometimes causes more events than just that one click to display. It isn't just the backlog of clicks that haven't been displayed. For example, pressing 1 which is not displayed, then 3, may suddenly show 1, 1, 3. The state field varies.
However, yesterday when I was doing what you asked, the mouse started working correctly. Once it is working correctly, it has never gone back to bad without rebooting. Today, it stayed bad until I pressed the two buttons while in xev at the same time to simulate a button 2 press. Then it started working correctly. I am hopeful that this is a workaround, but won't know until I can repeatedly do it. I'll update this as I gain more experience with it. ** Attachment added: "laptop" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8787508/laptop -- Intermittent mouse flakiness (works on some boots) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120043 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
