Bug Description
I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 and from time to time my cursor jumps erratically, clicking and opening stuff. I tried disabling desktop effects, thinking that it might be related to compiz. I have to mention that this happens on a desktop computer, not on a laptop. I am using an optical mouse that works fine on Windows XP. I only have this issue on Ubuntu 10.10.
I've noticed that pressing ESC or Ctrl will stop the cursor from jumping for awhile but it starts again after a few seconds.
