kernel update 5.0.0-23 breaks scroll mouse in xorg

[Bill (franksmcb)]

Just updated 18.04 to kernel 5.0.0-23 and scrolling with mouse wheel does not work or works very slowly. Mouse is Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 3000 connected via USB to wireless receiver.

Rebooting system into kernel 4.18.0-25 and everything works correctly.

Please test latest mainline kernel:

[Ubuntu Kernel Bot (ubuntu-kernel-bot)]

This change was made by a bot.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Note the bug only exists in linux-hwe, not in the linux package for bionic.

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Yes, but it's essentially the same one as linux in Disco.

[Carlos Flores (geop0p3)]

Can confirm, just upgraded to latest linux hwe package and mouse wheel is not working.

[tim O (z0rk)]

Mouse touch-wheel scrolls intermittently and very slowly. It is essentially unusable. This occurred after the latest kernel update and the behavior is reproducible on two identical mice. MOdel affected: Microsoft Sculpt Touch Mouse.

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Does this issue still happen under an up-to-date kernel?

This is no longer occurring in 5.0.0-36-generic #39~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 12 11:09:50 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I can confirm that the bug is fixed in
5.0.0-32-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 2 02:06:48 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
tested in my notebook with the mouse in question.
