Hello Jeremy,

Just installed mainline kernel "2.6.34-999-generic #201006020922 SMP Wed Jun 2 09:30:03 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux" and the bug remains. Absolutely no change in mouse behavior compared to the default Lucid kernel.

Regards,
Zack.

 >If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.
