Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

If I use the keyboard shortcuts on the far left of the keyboard to change the volume, the mouse left click will become pressed down and will not reset itself. At that point I can only right click. I have to restart GDM to be able to use my PC again. The keyboard does continue to work though.

Depending on what the mouse is hovering over at the time, any movements of the mouse will highlight things (like on the desktop, you can see the multiple files selector extending with the mouse).

This problem only seems to have come up after the last few updates.

I have a Microsoft Digital Media Pro Keyboard and I'm running the latest Maverick with the official NVidia drivers.
