[Bug 375905] Re: Mouse focus gets stuck over control objects

[Pete]

I too am experience this issue, as described almost daily, with today
being especially troublesome.

My system is a DELL Precision M6400 running ubuntu 9.04 (64 bit).  I
have seen issues with both the built in mouse-pad on this laptop, and
external DELL usb wheel mouse.

Sometimes if I switch between the two mouse devices, I am able to re-
gain control momentarily, othertimes, this doesn't help.

Other issues, is a see random mouse movements, (IE the cursor will move
across the screen without touching the mouse), and what act like random
stuck mouse buttons.  (IE I'll get a instant click, when I highlight a
button, or it will act like one of the buttons is held down on the
mouse. and will cause either block highlighting, and/or right click
menus to appear.

Un-plugging and re-plugging the USB mouse doesn't clear this issue.
Most of the time I have to re-boot the machine to clear the issue, or if
I randomly click buttons on the two mice (the USB, and touch-pad), I can
sometimes get it to clear up enough for me to continue working for a
bit.

Some of the forums suggested it might be an issue with the video driver,
so I updated to the latest video driver as of today (from NVIDIA version
185.18.14, and I am still seeing these issues.

This is very frustrating, and for me at least seems to have gotten worse
this last week. but like the previous poster stated, it's like the Flu,
when you have it you see it a lot, but then it goes away for awhile
where you hardly have any issues..
