Comment 17 for bug 636311

For what it is worth I am yet another person affected. It has even happened when not pressing the special keyboard keys. From a fresh graphical boot it is usually under a minute before I get the left button locked problem.

To fix it I do "modprobe -r usbhid ; modprobe usbhid" from an SSH connection.

The time till the problem reoccurs ranges from 10 seconds to a few hours and seems random. Needless to say I have never had any similar problems in the several years I've been using the same mouse and keyboard with prior Ubuntu releases.
