[ale] weird mouse problem

[Richard Faulkner]

I had the same thing happen a couple days ago while running Evolution on
Fedora 12 (see my earlier posting).  Evo is buggy enough and I tossed it
off as an issue with 2.28.3 but still wonder if there was a separate
issue with the mouse that killed Evo.  I have not been able to reproduce
the issue and my system did respond to keyboard input just as you
report.  My mouse was working fine in M$ as well but my M$ drive appears
to have taken a dump (no longer booting as of this PM)...gee...that's
too bad...so I guess I won't be doing that check!  (hehehe)

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. Everything had been working okay. But today, I
got this problem with the mouse where no mouse clicks have any effect.
The cursor moves just fine. But no clicks seem to register. The
logs indicate some issue with USB and it is plugged into a USB port. But
I can't highlight and copy the text, because that would imply mouse
clicks. I can type commands at the command line. Any idea where I should
start looking?


By the way, the mouse works fine in Windows.
