Public bug reported:
Mouse clicking has begun to work wrong for me in Hardy. Problems may not
start immediately after booting the system, but something soon triggers
the wrong behaviour. Here are some symptoms:
Nautilus:
-Clicking or double clicking on a file does nothing.
-Clicking on a file of folder with the right mouse button has the same effect
as clicking on the empty space between them.
-A file can be selected by dragging a square around it, but clicking behaviour
is still the same as above.
-F2 (for renaming a file) often doesn't work when a file is selected by
dragging a square around it.
-Ctrl+C doesn't work.
Upper panel:
-Left clicking on a menu header opens the menu, but it collapses when the
button is released. Menu items can be selected though by keeping the mouse
button down all the time and moving the cursor onto the desired item. Submenus
open when the cursor is kept over them for a moment.
-Left clicking or double clicking on panel shortcuts does nothing. Right
clicking on them brings up the context menu, if the mouse button is kept down.
When the button is released, the menu disappears.
-An exeption to above are the shortcuts for the deskbar applet, transmission
and the clock/calendar, which do work.
Lower panel:
-Left clicking on programs brings them up normally, but right clicking brings
up the context menu only if the mouse button is kept down.
Evolution:
-Clicking on a message on the message list opens the message instead of
selecting it.
Canorus and KWord (KDE)
-Menus don't open at all (a very short flash can be seen though)
All applications:
-Left clicking on a word selects the word instead of placing the cursor. Double
clicking selects the row instead of the word. Buttons on the toolbars do work.
There are similar symptoms in other applications as well.
I checked that mouse is technically OK. I'm pretty sure that the
problems started after I installed the updates of 8th of february. Mouse
settings in Nautilus and system settings seem normal to me. The mouse is
a relatively new Logitech USB mouse.
