I have been experiencing what sounds like the same problem running
Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty on a Dell Latitude 6500. apport-collect data added
above. The biggest problem I have seems to be when I click-hold the
left mouse button, touch-drag-release on the touchpad, then release the
left mouse button. This is a common action for selecting a block of
text.
This often works, but very regularly, it results in jumping the mouse
(often downwards) and pasting a chuck of text as if I had clicked the
middle mouse button.
Possibly relevant note: The upper mouse buttons on the Latitude 6500 are
adjacent to the touch pad with no barrier in between. It is easy to
accidentally touch the upper part of the touchpad with the same finger
which is clicking a mouse button, especially using the thumb as I do in
the above sequence. This may be involved in generating the bad
behavior, though I cannot reproduce it reliably.
I am using gsynaptics as described above. I am not using vmware. I
don't always have to reload the psmouse module, though sometimes I do.
Let me know if you need any additional information or tests.
This problem is extremely annoying as it results in incorrect mouse
movements and clicks, generally pasting something I did not intend to
paste in a location where I did not intend to have focus.
