I had this problem with a different bluetooth mouse (Logitech v470) and solved it by reinstalling gnome-vfs-obexftp then unbonding and rebonding the mouse.

Hope this helps!

type in terminal
sudo hidd --search

Searching.... (make your mouse visible)

hello
Thanks for the solution.
When my computer goes to sleep or hibernate while my mouse is still on, after it wakes up, I have to repeat those things again. Do you know how I can fix this problem too.
Thanks in advance
