    Red face Left mouse button stops working in 10.10

    I'm having a problem with gnome. When I press a multimedia key on my keyboard (or obstensibly other hotkeys although I haven't figured out exactly what). My left-mouse button stops responding. The right mouse button works fine and the mouse tracks fine. I can go into the mouse control panel and switch it to a left handed mouse and the left mouse button works, but not the right.

    I ran 'xinput test "HP Mouse"', and I can see the left mouse clicks coming through. So X11 at least thinks it's coming through. I've got nothing interesting that I can find in /var/log.

    This is really generic USB hardware. HP Mouse and Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard.

    I'm really stumped as to where to continue with my troubleshooting. Any thoughts?

    updated to 10.10 today. Same problem, but left button stops working after keyboard layout switching (through hotkeys or indicator) =\

    I have fixed it temporarily by alt tabbing to a terminal and running:

    sudo rmmod usbhid; sudo mobprobe usbhid

    I'd like to be able to use my hotkeys again though.

    Have the same problem.
    Stops working when switching keyboard layouts.
    "sudo rmmod usbhid; sudo mobprobe usbhid" does not help. Restarting xorg helps. xinput test also shows events when button is clicked.

    Is mouse from A4Tech?

    Here is issue in bug tracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/udev/+bug/637208 that also contains temporary workaround:

    Some solution, that solve our problem.
    1) xinput --list
    It will show you your input devices, our A4Tech mouse have id, for example, there are
    ⎜ ↳ A4TECH USB Device id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
    ⎜ ↳ A4TECH USB Device id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
    2) xinput set-int-prop %id% "Device Enabled" 8 0
    , where %id% is one of id's of your mouse. In my case it was 10. Generally, this is the second id of list. This command will disable advanced built-in keyboard of A4Tech mouse.
    If you want to enable back, use
    xinput set-int-prop %id% "Device Enabled" 8 1.
    Workaround works for me. My mouse is A4Tech K3-230.

    My mouse is a pretty generic HP USB Mouse. Disabling and re-enabling via xinput does not work for me. Xinput does show the left mouse button being clicked. Only thing that works so far is restarting X or rmmod-ing usbhid (which I'm guessing is not so much a solution as taking a sledgehammer to the problem).

    Same problem here, I think Ubuntu thinks that I keep my left mouse button pressed down all the time.

    I can't use Ubuntu now

    Same problem on Chicony wireless mouse & keyboard. It acts like the mouse button is pressed down all the time. Very annoying

    sudo rmmod usbhid; sudo mobprobe usbhid

    helps, but sometimes the mouse button stucks even 3 - 4 times a minute.
