[Bug 609716] Re: Ubuntu stops responding

[Agronskey Hooper]

I am experiencing a similar issue with Ubuntu 10.10 installed on my
system.  It seems to be rather random, but happens due to clicking
things with the mouse - whether icons, on-screen buttons or menu
options.  It also happens when dragging or resizing windows or clicking
their scrollbars.  The system will just hang, frozen, indefinitely.  I
found out accidentally that by tapping the power button on my system a
shutdown menu appears and the mouse is magically available again.

A minor caveat... Now this is an extremely cheap, rather basic optical
mouse that I got somewhere for around 10 bucks.  I have suspected for a
couple of weeks that the left mouse button may be going bad.  Sometimes
using the button would achieve nothing at all, while in some programs
what was intended as a single click was interpreted as a double click
instead.  So I'm going to replace the mouse and hope that solves the
issue.

I hope this helps!
