[Martinique <375905@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was plagued by this problem for a long time (probably since 9.04),
until I got fed up, opened my laptop and disconnected its touchpad
permanently (I prefer a mouse anyway). That fixed the problem for me,
but this is not something I'd recommend others to do, especially since
there's often a switch or a BIOS setting to disable a touchpad.

Apparently the touchpad was producing random click events (even without
touching it at all), or so Ubuntu thought, and my guess is that those
frequent extra clicks often caused control objects to become stuck. The
few times I booted into Windows I had no problems with the touchpad, so
maybe the Windows Synaptics driver has a filtration mechanism or
sensitivity control of some sort.
