I resolved this through Gnome settings in Ubuntu 10.10. Under System, Keyboard Preferences:
On the Layouts tab I selected a similar keyboard model "Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro / Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro". On the "Mouse Keys" tab I de-selected the check box labeled "Pointer can be controlled using the keypad" Then I restarted my PC although the restart may have been overkill. Viola. No more issue. If I'm wrong and the issue still exists I'll post my findings here.
Hardware:
I have a Microsoft Natural MultiMedia Keyboard and Logitech mouse and have experienced the loss of the left mouse button functionality after a special key was pressed.
