Left mouse button not working

[Mark Abrahams]

The left mouse button stopped working a few days ago - was working fine before then. Tried two different mice. Left mouse button doesn't work on either. Changed mouse settings (Settings -> Mouse and Touchpad) to left-handed mouse. Button functionality was swapped, but left button still didn't work. Tried Unity and Xfce, left button not working on either. Rebooting didn't fix the fault. Using Ubuntu 13.10.
