I tried searching around through the bugs and questions for Ubuntu but I couldn't seem to find anything related to my particular issue. Sorry if this has been posted before...
I am running Ubuntu 8.10. For quite a while now (ever since I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 I think) I have been having very weird mouse issues. Some times my single-clicks will be recognized as double-clicks. Other times I'll have to click several times before my click is even recognized at all. Some times when I hold down my left mouse button to drag it will stop recognizing it and cut off my drag in the middle of it. When I try to select text on a web page or anywhere it will take me several tries to actually get it highlighted. Also, when I try to right-click it will sometimes just execute an item in the context menu without me even clicking on anything.
I wasn't noticing it very much to begin with (in fact at first I thought it was limited to just Firefox) but then as time went on it seemed to get worse and worse. Now I'm having these issues all the time everywhere in Ubuntu. It's gotten to the point where I'm almost considering going back to Windows because this issue has made Ubuntu pretty unusable for me. My keyboard (and other USB devices) work just fine so I don't believe it is a USB issue. My monitor and graphics card are recognized correctly and they work just fine too so I don't think they are the cause either.
I've been searching for at least a month trying to find a solution to this problem but have thus far not found anything that fixes it. All I know is this just started happening in the last release or two of Ubuntu. I was using this same exact mouse and setup before this problem started and everything worked perfectly back then. My current install of Ubuntu is a fresh one directly from the CD. Not an upgrade.
Has anybody heard of this issue? Is there a fix for it? Anything? I'm getting pretty desperate here. As I said, if I can't resolve this soon I may end up going back to Windows. I love Ubuntu but at least my mouse works and I can get things done in Windows.
Here is some details of my current setup:
Ubuntu 8.10
GNOME 2.24.1 (Ubuntu 2008-10-24)
Kernel 2.6.27-9-generic (#1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008)
AMD Athlon Processor
ASUS AN35N Ultra v1.1 Motherboard
2GB RAM
Micro Innovations Internet Keyboard Elite KB565BL (connected via USB)
Logitech LX7 Cordless Optical Mouse (connected via USB)
Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS Graphics Card
Samsung SyncMaster 943BX Monitor (connected via DVI)
Sound Blaster Audigy Sound Card
I can provide any other info needed upon request.
This really seems to be an hardware issue. Maybe you can try to use in Windows for a while to see if you've got the same trouble. You're batteries may be wrong.
