I can confirm the comment before me by gmorehou (gordon-z). But running Mint 17 (not 17.1) and Mate (not Cinnamon). This problem only happen on my Lenovo Y460 notebook using the touchpad. So far, I have not encountered this on other desktop running Min 17.1 Mate.

To reproduce the porblem, I just need to suspend the notebook. However, same problem if I leave it running for few hours (not suspend or hibernate, just leave it running).

The work around with CTRL-ALT-F1 and then CTRL-ALT-F8 also work for me (THANKS!).

My gut feeling is that this is Mint issue (not just Cinnamon or Mate) and possibly the DE issue since running xev detects button clicks.

Having a workaround is good enough to hold on to Mint. However, long running unsolved, reproducible bugs are the ugliest bug for well used OS like Mint.

To be fair. This might be a different bug.
