[Bug 1373645] [NEW] Logitech wireless mouse periodically loses correct click behaviour

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

I have reported this bug as a result of responses to my post on Bug
#1371853.  I first noticed this issue on Friday 19th September 2014.

My logitech cordless mouse suddenly started behaving very oddly in
14.04..  The machine had been running for over a week , but without much
use for that working week (Mon-Fri) until I plugged in my new X-Box 360
controller and attempted to configure my TV as a 2nd screen for a gaming
session.

I then found that, at some times, mouse clicks didn't seem to be
registering with the system as expected. Switching virtual desktops
backwards and forwards seemed to restore some ability to click with
results, but this would bring only temporary relief. I didn't see
anything noteworthy in the dmesg output.

The same symptoms were observed using either my desktop monitor, the TV
or both in a dual screen configuration.  The problem survived
disconnection of the USB wireless receiver and power cycling of the
mouse, and also across reboots.

At one point I noticed that the mouse focus seemed to have become
incoherent, in that left clicking in the search window in Firefox
produced a text insertion caret there, but keyboard text appeared in the
console that had previously had mouse focus.

I soon found that a wired USB mouse worked OK, googled for clues for a
few days and then found Bug #1371853 which prompted me to file
something.

I have been using 14.04 for some months now without any related issues.
This machine is normally in fairly heavy daily use, but during the
weekdays Monday 15th Sept 2014 through to Friday 19th Semptember 2014
had only had light use during which I might have not have noticed this
issue.  I definitely didn't experience it before plugging in the
XBOX-360 controller for the first time on Friday 19th and noticed it
within a few minutes of that.

I have since confirmed that disconnecting the XBOX-360 controller
doesn't stop the issue once it has started.  I have also confirmed that
the issue can still arise after rebooting with the XBOX-360 controller
disconnected.  Whether the XBOX-360 controller is at all relevant or
not, I do not know.

For now, I have adopted the wired USB mouse workaround.
