Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
Started happening after upgrading to 9.04 and xserver 1.6
My external logitech mouse (optical with microusb receiver) started working oddly when using the middle mouse button combined with Alt to resize windows.
The middle mouse button spontaneously Releases while holding it down. example: alt-MMB to resize a window is not usable since it for no apparent reason releases the button press without my doing anything.
I have tried the same mouse on xserver 1.5.2 (ubuntu 8.10), and there it works as expected.

I should emphasize that the touchpad (laptop is Vaio VGN-FW21M) does not exhibit this problem, it's only the USB mouse.
