Also stops working after switching keyboard layouts.
Worked in Ubuntu 10.04, bug introduced after upgrade to 10.10.

xinput test (id of my mouse) outputs "button press 1" and "button release 1" when I click left mouse button, but clicks don't have any effect on any GUI elements.

Tried to disable compiz, behaves the same.

Maybe duplicate of #637208.
Is mouse from A4Tech?

I just have to restart the X server to fix it. I'm using a Logitech Optical USB mouse.

I've duplicated the same issue with both a Microsoft wired optical mouse and a Microsoft wireless optical mouse:

Playing a sound file via movie player / rhythmbox causes the left click button to cease working with the wireless mouse. When I restart gdm and do the same with the wired mouse, all three buttons stop working. When the clicks stop registering on my mouse, they also stop registering from the buttons built into my laptop.

If I have no external mouse connected and only use the buttons / pad on my laptop, everything works fine.

Ditto on Maverick. Left mouse button fails after a few seconds of playing music or video on either totem or rhythmbox (Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) sound, in case that helps). Using keyboard with integrated touch pad, neither the left-hand mouse button nor tapping the touch pad itself work. Going to try it again with a USB mouse.

Sorry, seems more random than that - tried to reproduce it, nothing happened.

Ok, I've reproduced it - pressing a volume up/down media key kills the left button on either a keyboard with a built-in touch pad or on a standard Microsoft USB mouse. Tested on two computers running 32-bit Maverick, one of which was a clean install, one an upgrade from Lucid.

Same problem, MS Multimedia Keyboard and MS Optical Mouse -- both USB.

Doing the usbhid remove/load does work for me.

I'm having same problem. Flash completely kills my left button, also watching videos with VLC. Not sure if it's specific to my keyboard/mouse. Going to see if problem persists when USB keyboard/mouse not plugged in -- this seems like a high priority problem as it makes the OS almost unusable

Confirmed that this problem only exists when my microsoft keyboard/mouse are plugged in. When I watch the same video using the same software just using my laptop mouse, no problems at all.

Is it possible that this bug is the same as 636311? Do you use any of the special keys on your keyboard when you watch videos etc?

More information, when I unplug the the keyboard I regain left button. This is not the same as 636311 as I don't use any of the media buttons or special keys. Simply starting a video (no matter what kind of video, from flash to mkv through VLC to .vob through totem) makes left click unusable as long as my keyboard is plugged in

Also, fix provided for 636311 does not fix this issue, just tested it

More information, the problem also starts up when I call using skype and when I listen to music with amarok. Problem occurs almost immediately after using any of these pieces of software while my Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0 is connected.

It also happens randomly:

- Maverick 64 bits
- Trust wirleless mous
- seems that openoffice is always opened when this happens

Luis, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-evdev REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
