Public bug reported:

This problem began with the 14.04 upgrade. The mouse has always worked
normally until then.

Approximately every 10 minutes - and possibly triggered by Alt-Tab
window switches/opening new windows - the mouse behaviour becomes rather
strange. Primarly, left-clicks are not registered properly to the
topmost window. They usually appear to go "through" to the window below
and it's not possible to switch focus to a new window (or any other
window). Mouse movement is unaffected and clicking on the original
window (which has grabbed the focus) seems to work. The Unity bar pops
out but is not clickable and rapidly re-hides. Sometimes individual
window elements are not usable even if the main window itself is.
Examples:

* In Thunderbird, left-pane account/folder selection works, but does not perform the corresponding update to the message list/preview panes when the folder selection changes.
* dialogues are popped up where parts of the dialogue respond to clicks but other parts do not. Commonly, the dialogue title/menu bar is not responsive (it cannot be moved/closed).

Sometimes right-clicking will restore focus to the appropriate
window/area. Sometimes not.

Unloading and reloading usbhid and hid_logitech modules does not help.

Restarting will fix the problem temporarily. I've found that switching
to a console and back will fix the problem temporarily too (Ctrl-Alt-F1,
Ctrl-Alt-F7).

Several very similar bugs exist for wireless headsets, mice and quite
often Logitech (although of course this is just a common brand) from
before 14.04, but for me this was never a problem previously. They are
being closed as expired even though they still exist in 14.04. Bug
#993655, Bug #1006156 and Bug #1337586 are examples. It is not 100%
clear to me if this is an xorg bug, but this is what was being suggested
in those tickets. The combination of module reloading not working with
console switching working (reinstall handlers?) does suggest X is
involved.
