Mouse problems - 13.10

[garry]

>>> Hi, all.
>>> 
>>> I'm experiencing a strange issue with the mouse on 13.10.
>>> 
>>> After a while, even though I can still move it, the mouse loses its clickability on both right & left click. A reboot resolves the situation & the keyboard functions normally throughout.
>>> 
>>> I Googled the subject & got several answers but nothing that resolved the problem & a lot of stuff didn't really make sense.
>>> 
>>> Has anybody suffered this?
>>> 
>>> Any help appreciated.

>> Are you using a standard mouse and keyboard? If not, especially if they're wireless, what's the make and model of your mouse? I'm not a wizard by any means, but it sounds like a driver issue possibly. At least for the time being rebooting resolves.

Definitely sounds like the issue is related to the OS upgrade. But just in case it's not; I'm wondering what happens if you use different USB ports? Also, what about testing in a new user account?
