Special keys disable left-click

[forza.stiinta]

It's driving me crazy... I use the multimedia keys quite a lot...

This too has been driving me crazy, as I just installed 10.10 [64]. The way to fix this is to unplug and replug the keyboard dongle back in, but I would hardly consider this "Fixing".

Help~

I've been getting the same thing. Again, it's a Microsoft multimedia keyboard. The following lines in the xorg log are interesting:

...
[ 10230.072] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 (/dev/input/event6)
[ 10230.072] (**) Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600: Applying InputClass "evdev keyboard catchall"
[ 10230.072] (**) Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600: always reports core events

[ 10230.092] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600" (type: KEYBOARD)
...

So it could be caused by/fixable with changes to xorg.conf keyboard drivers. I don't have time to fiddle at the moment, I'll just not use the media keys.

I do have the same problem with Microsoft wired keyboard 600. I keep my system updated, but this doesn't help at all.
Has anyone solved the problem?
Thanks

I believe I am having this problem, but I am using an Apple aluminum wired keyboard. Left click works intermittently. Mouse works fine when connected to another computer.

IS anyone using 10.10 with the Apple keyboard without issues?
