Running Karmic (alpha 4) - mine has been exhibiting this behaviour for a
little while but I thought it was user error or timing issues, but it
got MUCH worse today (probably in conjunction with the patch that
Herbert mentioned above). The computer is pretty much unusable now. I'm
lucky if I can type a sudo command AND my password before the cursor is
hijacked by the left mouse button being "held down". The only way to
regain control is to right click and open a new terminal tab (using the
right mouse button on the menu, since the left button is only responsive
to the ghost events).

To top it off, when I was trying to troubleshoot I found that VT1-6
don't work anymore, apparently, but that's a separate bug report.

cat /dev/input/mice and don't touch anything, and you will see the
cursor in the terminal move back and forth as it receives ghostly click
events.

Please tell me you guys have some idea what the problem is!

Randomly I get double clicks when I do a single click.
