Hi Nio, Thank you for taking some time to respond.

Thanks for bringing that to the conversation! I switched mices (grabbed a wired one Basic MS Optical Mouse v.1.0A and a MS Wireless Mobile Mouse 1000) and both worked as expected on L13.04. Now I know that testing a new OS version is something much more complex than testing a web product.

When I use this laptop, I'll remember to open a new web link by clicking Ctrl + left mouse click. As a matter of fact, I only upgraded so soon to L13.04 fake-pae grun-n-iso on this Celeron M 1200Mhz because: 1) i was worried with the future Linux support for this old machine (old, but still beloved); 2) i tested xubuntu on this laptop, but it's not smooth as lubuntu is in such a "beloved" system. 3) you kindly provided the fake-pae solution and in order to help me and help the community with data, I decided to go directly to this version. Anyway, no problem now. The beauty of Linux is that we learn a LOT from issues we think they are supposed to be simple. The more I use Lubuntu, the more I'm sure it was a good decision to migrate from Windows OSs. Thank you for sharing your enlightening thoughts!
