[Bug 1751421] Re: software updater causes mouse buttons to stop working

[Humphrey van Polanen Petel]

A major problem for Ubuntu (and I guess for Linux system in general) is
that they have a steep learning curve for user coming from a Windows
environment.

I add that, after all those years, LibreOffice is still not compatible
with the DOCX ISO-standard, which (at least for me) is a reason to stay
with MS-Office.

I further add that Ubuntu's user interface is rough and inconsistent.
Rough in the sense that the various programs and utilities vary
(greatly) in their ease of use and inconsistent in the sense that they
vary (infuriatingly) in their implementation of menus.

What I am asking is "please try to see things from a user's
perspective".  I feel that the importance of this bug should be just
below critical.

Title:
  software updater causes mouse buttons to stop working

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I start Software Updater and after it has done its job it wants me to click one of <settings>. <restart later> and <restart now>, but the mouse buttons do not respond anymore, though the keyboard is able to access those buttons.
  I am able to click one of the icons on the taskbar.  

  Note that this occurs intermittently and has been occurring for a few
  months now.
