Confirmed, this time as a guest OS in VMWare Workstation 7.0.1 (Windows 7 x64 as the host OS).

It happens sporadically, not only when dragging Windows around, but also while dragging scroll bars, resizing Windows by dragging their borders and basically all operations that involve moving the mouse while holding the primary button. Looks like the release event is not triggered properly.

Both x86 and x86_64 versions of lucid are affected, system is up-to-date with all patches as of March 30, 2010.

The "locked" left mouse button will usually behave normally after a while but in some cases I've to kill the X server.
