Mouse "simulation" after putting tablet-notebook back in normal mode

[WG-]

I'm in the possesion of a toshiba portégé m750, which is a tablet notebook. When I put my notebook into tablet mode and go back to notebook mode sometimes the cursor starts moving to the left and starts acting like mouse clicks are being done, so it looks like the mouse is simulated... (note I'm not moving the mouse or touching the mouse.)

I also made a post on: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1657079 for help, but unfortunately no one could help me.

We noticed a few things however. It looks like my "xinput -list" shows several mouses, id={9,10,13}:
[quote]⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]

I hope someone can help me here :)

Oh yes what I have done so far...

I checked the settings of "xinput --list-props <id>" with id={9,10,13,15,16,17} and checked if the properties where any different when the 'bug' occurred.

A friend told me then to execute the following in the console: "apport-bug xserver-xorg-input-mouse"

so... that is what I've done now ;-)

This was filed against the wrong driver package. -mouse is no longer maintained; pointer devices are managed via the -evdev driver now.

WG-, 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.

Currently with ubuntu 13.04 it is indeed still a issue. I will create a ISO image of the daily build during the weekend and test it.
