Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
Logitech mice with a "Cruise-Control" scroll feature, or with a horizontal tilt, exhibit additional button events for these buttons. In particular, while the expected 4, 5, 6, or 7-numbered buttons occur as expected (and repeat automatically until the button is released with that correct number) they also exhibit their own button-specific events. On a logitech MX1000 mouse, these events are numbered 11, 12, 13, and 14 respectively. Other mice behave differently depending on their specific configurations.
The effect is pretty well documented, with a number of historic work-arounds which don't appear to work well under the newer evdev driver:

Also search the lkml mailing list for MX1000 for several more discussions on the topic.

Seems to be a kernel bug.
