mouse pointer jumping when left-button clicked

[Eymen A]

I set up a Xdmx configuration to use my laptop as a secondary screen to my desktop pc.
Unfortunately the mouse pointer behaves like described in the title. Both computers are running the same operating system.

Eymen A, 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 xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given you already have done this in a prior release, performing this on a release prior to Trusty would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) reached end-of-life on May 9, 2013.

This has sat incomplete for almost nine years without a response
from the reporter. Bug report did not expire due to bug watches.
The upstream report confirms fixed in an earlier Ubuntu release
so as there was no response to comment #4 will close now.
