mouse unresponsive to clicks after changing users

[Charles]

Using Ubuntu 14.04 with a PS2 mouse. After logging in to regular user, then logging in to admin, logging back out and logging back in to regular user again the top and side menus are unresponsive to mouse clicks. That is, the left menu bar programs do not respond to mouse left clicks (not sure if right mouse clicks do anything to these menus), including the Ubuntu search center, as well as the top right User options.

Mouse clicks work on inside applications, such as Firefox, meaning, Firefox must have been previously open before switching to admin and back because otherwise the mouse can't be used to open Firefox! Programs can be opened from Software center by pressing Alt-F2, typing the name and then pressing Enter at the exact match. Clicking the mouse on the search results is unresponsive.

This bug doesn't appear when switching between two regular users, only between initial regular user and admin and back again.

Charles, 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 as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 1386930

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information.

As well, given the information from the prior release is already available, testing a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
