[Bug 162790] Re: mouse scroll wheel rolled up/back causes context menu to appear

[linfidel]

I have also had this problem from time to time.  I am using a Logitech
Connect Mouse (RF), and a KVM switch (with USB to PS/2 adapter), which
may actually make a difference.

Following a tip in the Ubuntu forums, I entered these two line in a terminal when it was misbehaving:
sudo rmmod psmouse    (here you will lose the mouse, so don't expect to copy/paste the next line)
sudo modprobe psmouse rate=100 proto=imps

This made the mouse behave normally.

I then changed the mouse type in  /etc/X11/xorg.conf to ExplorerPS/2
(from ImPS/2), and restarted X using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.  It's working
OK now, but I can't be sure this last change fixed anything, as it seems
to be intermittent.

Hope this helps.
