[Bug 1371853] Re: Logitech wireless mouse periodically loses correct click behaviour

 

Hi Christopher. The BIOS I have is already an F8 version variant and I
would like to keep the variant. Further, I have not had this problem in
the 6 years of owning the hardware until 14.04. So further to Darren's
comment it seems very likely that this is a recent software issue. I
noticed the problem as soon as I upgraded to 14.04, definitely before
19th September, but I did not upgrade on launch date.

I should add that although the problem commonly happens every 10 minute
or so, there is sometimes a period of hours without problems and
sometimes it happens on every click.

I also have an Xbox 360 wireless connector. I will try removing it to
see if that is causing some sort of conflict.

Title:
  Logitech wireless mouse periodically loses correct click behaviour

Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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

  Approximately every 10 minutes 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.

  WORKAROUND: Switch to a console and back will fix the problem
  temporarily via Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then Ctrl-Alt-F7.
