[Peter Rosell <1316873@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had this problem too with non-working left button mouse(Miscrosoft)
and I found out that the reason was that the mute-button was pressed on
my Microsoft headset. When the headset is muted the button lights up and
the left mouse button pressed and hold down, aka I can use the mute
button to select text by pressing mute, move mouse and press button
again. So my problem is that the mute button of the headset is wrongly
mapped. I guess it should be mapped to the audio mute function. Just
like my Logitech keyboard is. If I suspend my computer and wake it again
the mute button is turned off on my headset and the left button works
again. Also logout and login solves my problem, but the mute button on
the headset is still lit.

So my problem was not the mouse it was the headset that interfered.

I adding lsusb info for my mouse and headset.

Title:
  Left mouse button stops working

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This  problem has plagued me for a few years across different laptops
  and Ubuntu versions. Current I am experiencing this on a Dell Inspiron
  15z running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

  It typically starts after I have used the chat or call feature in
  gmail, by clicking on the phone icon in the left chat margin. I am a
  Firefox user and have not tested this with chrome etc. It has not
  happened if i dont install google-talkplugin so it is quite possible
  that the plugin is to blame.

  Symptom
  =======
  The left mouse button on all attached mice - USB , Trackpad and touch - will not do anything .... however the right mouse button continues to work.  This happens to all applications and also to the desktop. The keyboard continues to function as normal.

  When this occurs , my solution is to Alt-F4 close all windows and log
  out of the X session. When I re-login the left mouse button works as
  normal.

  
  This is an irritant and work disruptor as I have to save all browser and desktop applications to  safe state before I logout to reset the mouse. I will appreciate any soltion or workaround.
