Title:
  Mouse cannot click on items that have focus

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have 2 laptops with Ubuntu 12.10. One (Acer Travelmate) is fine, the other (Acer Aspire 5749) is experiencing this issue.
  I had this issue with Ubuntu 11.10, wich was why I upgraded to 12.04 and then to 12.10, but it did not resolve.
  I wanted to reinstall, but during reinstall I experienced the same issue, so this was clearly an issue between ubuntu and my hardware.
  When I start, and login, Everything works fine for a short moment, but after a while, my mouse doesn't seem to click anymore.
  When this arises I can still click on the sidebar, and in the menu of the application that has focus.
  However, clicking on an icon on my desktop doesn't work and clicking on a button, textfield, etc. inside an application does not work either.
  I can still move around in the app (using <tab> and <enter>), but my mouse clicks do nothing.
  No left or right click, and no double click.
  I can still move the mouse and use the scroll part on my touchpad (works as expected).

  When I started this bugreport the issue had arisen once more. As I'm
  typing this report, I find that I can click again, so this issue seems
  to get resolved over time, or by starting, stopping and navigating
  trought different app's, or something.
