This is quite annoying. For some reason I can not hold anything with my mouse.
For example.
I can not drag a window by holding its title bar.
I can not move the scroll bar of any window by mouse.
I can not even select text
Alt+Click on a window does not move it.
All these tasks are related to dragging. And this dragging is not working.
My trackpad works fine in most ways - two finger scrolling, etc.
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on an Intel I7 system with 9GB RAM and using a Logitech wireless mouse (don't have any further information about model). I have all of the latest updates applied and, with the last wave, I began losing mouse events, resulting in repeated unintentional drag-drop events and text highlighting / dragging.
I've been having an issue with clicking and dragging icons and windows on my desktop. What ends up happening is I will click and hold on an icon and begin to drag it. The icon does not move. I let go of the mouse button, click on it again, and it immediately opens up (almost like it was double clicked).
So this is a weird little issue I've come across.I bought a new mouse and when I first used it and installed the drivers for it (its a cyborg RAT7 Gaming mouse) I was logged into my windows partition. The last time I booted into chakra my old mouse was working fine.So, the next time I booted into Chakra, I could not right click on the desktop but could left click and drag to group icons
Has anyone had a mouse issue after update? My mouse on my laptop was dragging and dropping without problem, in fact, it was better than it ever was in 11.10. After update, it now drags but does not want to drop.
Can I fix this or wait to new update?

Hi everyone,
Since the update to 12.04 I have had a couple seemingly related issues with my mouse.
1) When browsing a folder, it takes several times passing my mouse over a file before the file will 'light up' to indicate I'm pointing at it. Sometimes I can't get it to light up at all; sometimes I can get it to light up by pointing somewhere else.
I find my self constantly dragging text, links, icons, and other things a few pixels by accident. Can I somehow increase the drag threshold? I thought at first it was because I use a trackpad, but I get the same unwanted behavior with a plain old mouse.
I am using mostly Unity and sometimes GNOME in Ubuntu 12.10.
On OSX I use Zooom2 to move my windows around with keyboard shortcuts and mouse motion. This operates in a very similar manner to Ubuntu, with the following difference:
On Zooom2, I have it set so holding down Shift + Cmd when the cursor is over a window and dragging the mouse moves said window.
