Comment 181 for bug 296610

DELL LATITUDE D600
UBUNTU 9.10 with proposed-updates
LINUX 2.6.31-20-generic
NAUTILUS 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3
GNOME 2.28.1
FireFox 3.5.8
FireGestures 1.5.6

When using UBUNTU_JAUNTY, I get the same problems as described above (log below) -- but with UBUNTU_KARMIC the problem has evolved somewhat:

- previously it was common when the left-mouse button froze, for the FireGestures plugin to activate its mouse-trail like an etch-a-sketch; almost always had to reboot to get mouse back. this is rarely happening now.

- when the mouse buttons lock up, i can now normally mouse up from my app (browser) onto the Nautilus command bar (APPLICATIONS : PLACES : SYSTEM) and repeatedly right-click until I get a drop-down menu; then I can repeatedly left-click until I get a drop-down menu -- restoring mouse button control. [normally in this process, i can not use the mouse pad vertical scroll feature until left-click is restored]

- the mouse randomly jumping around the screen seems a bit more frequent than UNBUNTU_JAUNTY installs.

*NEW* Right-click for a drop-down menu leaving the mouse perfectly still, the left-click (double-tap) will not be recognized until you atleast slightly move the mouse.

*NEW* Right-click for a drop-down menu and slight/slow movement of mouse activates first menu item as if you just left-clicked it. This happens MOST of the time and often winds up launching the item, or creating a new document/action. [a trashbin full of new empty folders i've had to delete daily based on this]

*FYI* I have not tried any of the patches mentioned.
