I can confirm that this bug is still not fixed in Ubuntu 16.04 Beta 2. It's a shame that the fix is not added 5 years later. I would strongly suggest to consider including it as I hit it 2 times before finding this thread (and the fix) and both times installed different distro (as I didn't find the source of the issue). Guess how many users declined to use Ubuntu because of this.

The mouse continues to work but all events continue to go to the active window, even when the action is outside the active window. This affects all mice on the system until you unhook the R.A.T. 7. Sometimes clicking the mouse's "Mode" button while over another application will also fix the issue. I've seen this bug using TWM,Metacity and Compiz This also seems to be an issue on Fedora 13, but is fixed in Xorg git as of 2010.08.09. I've replicated the bug in 10.04 and 10.10 alpha 3.
