left click randomly stops working

[feroxy]

On the advice of another user, switching to another console, waiting a few seconds, then back to xorg console will fix the problem

Have updated to BIOS 2.A; will report back if problem reoccurs.

problem has reoccurred. I was watching a video on vimeo, in full screen, using chrome 45. When I exited the video, I could no longer use the left click on my mouse. I believe previous times may also have coincided with a full screen video app. (kodi for example), but I cant be certain.

feroxy, to see if this is already resolved, could you please test http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and advise to the results?

[feroxy (feroxy)]

I'll upgrade to the wily beta in place and try using that. The difficulty is that the problem is intermittent, I cannot reliably reproduce.
