Binary package hint: xorg Following an online update from Kubuntu Lucid to Maverick beta, use of almost any of the 'special' buttons on the keyboard (mail, home, documents, play/pause, volume up, zoom in...) fires a ButtonPress event (as seen by xev) for the physically left mouse button (i.e. left click with the mouse set right-handed, 'right click' if set left-handed). There is no corresponding ButtonRelease, so the computer acts as if that mouse button is held down. The ButtonPress occurs between the KeyPress and KeyRelease events of the special key. This makes the mouse essentially unusable. So far, I've not found a way to reset it besides logging off (i.e. restarting X). Hardware: - Basic Microsoft keyboard and mouse (optical wheel mouse, Digital Media Keyboard 3000) - Intel graphics (lspci says it's an 82G33/31 integrated graphics controller) Initially I thought the problem was related to kwin compositing (which also causes some problems, see bug 630632 ), but I've found it happening even with desktop effects turned off. I don't know if xorg is the best package to file this against, so if not, please point me in the right direction. + + == Regression details == + Discovered in version: maverick + Last known good version: lucid -- Keyboard special keys interfere with mouse https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/636311 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
