Lance Hawkins, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

The stuck mouse button manifest itselfin Intellij IDEA, which basically becomes unusable. Many times when this happens, the same behavior is also present on applications inside the virtual box VMs. I generally have the following three programs running at all times, so I think it is triggered by something in them (I have a sneaking suspicious its using the mousewheel to scroll up / scroll down in the virtualbox vm). - Intellij IDEA - Virtual Box (usually running a few windows VMs) - Chromium To solve the problem, I end up having to completely reboot (which kills a lot of time, because I have to alsy cycle the VMs). As far as what triggers this problem - it is somewhat hard to determine but I think it may have something to do with using the mousewheel while the focus is on one of the virtual box VMs. One other thing I've noticed is that the problem only seems to happen in Unity. If I choose Gnome shell then I've not had the issue (but I end up coming back to Unity since its grown on me). Other people have also reported the same or similar issue here (I also posted a description there) : http://askubuntu.com/questions/155499/regain-control-of-mouse-by- restarting-xorg/179571#179571 I am using 12.04 64-bit.
