I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 RC. I only upgraded the other day and noticed this bug immediately so I know it's a regression between the xorg versions of 10.04 and 10.10. It's reported downstream here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/637062 Basically, when pressing numlock with this mouse connected, a mouse button 1 event is sent but not released. So basically if numlock is enabled the mouse acts like you are holding down the first button.
what's the xserver version you're running? please attach the evtest output for the device when pressing the button
Hi Peter, The top of my Xorg.0.log says: X.Org X Server 1.9.0 Release Date: 2010-08-20 Also this part of the log looks interesting: [ 17.322] (**) A4Tech USB Full Speed: Applying InputClass "evdev pointer catchall" [ 17.322] (**) A4Tech USB Full Speed: always reports core events [ 17.322] (**) A4Tech USB Full Speed: Device: "/dev/input/event4" [ 17.361] (II) A4Tech USB Full Speed: Found 20 mouse buttons [ 17.361] (II) A4Tech USB Full Speed: Found scroll wheel(s) [ 17.361] (II) A4Tech USB Full Speed: Found relative axes [ 17.361] (II) A4Tech USB Full Speed: Found x and y relative axes [ 17.361] (II) A4Tech USB Full Speed: Configuring as mouse [ 17.361] (**) A4Tech USB Full Speed: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 [ 17.361] (**) A4Tech USB Full Speed: EmulateWheelButton: 4, EmulateWheelInertia: 10, EmulateWheelTimeout: 200 [ 17.361] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "A4Tech USB Full Speed" (type: MOUSE) [ 17.361] (II) A4Tech USB Full Speed: initialized for relative axes.

I'm not totally sure how to run evtest. I've just tried but now I've lost left-click (it's like it's held down) and can only navigate with the keyboard so I'll have to try again later.
This is a mass change of bugs. Bugs assigned to me that haven't been updated in the last 3 years are closed as WONTFIX, because, well, let's at least be honest about it. Please do not re-open unless you have a really good reason to do so (e.g. you're fixing it yourself). If it hasn't been fixed in the last 3 years, it probably won't be fixed anytime soon either. Sorry.
