[Thomas Taylor <linxt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm having a problem with my mouse.  I've got a Dell Studio 1745 which has a
built-in touchpad which I turn off in desktop config.  I also have a Logitech
cordless mouse working through a 4-port USB hub connected to one of the two USB
ports on the laptop.

The problem seems to be that the mouse looses focus after a while, that is, the
cursor still moves but the buttons are not functioning.  So far I have tried
using two other corded mice and plugging directly into the USB port on the
laptop without the USB hub but the behaviour continues.

This problem first displayed shortly after loading OS 11.3 from DVD.  It had
not happened during the factory builds or under OS 11.2.  When the mouse
buttons stop working, the entire desktop seems to lose focus with no keyboard
activity having any effect.  If I bang the mouse around a bit and keep pushing
buttons the focus seems to return for a while but returns.

Does anyone have a suggestion about how to test this situation?  If ned be, I
could reload 11.2 to see what happens.

Thanks for any advice or suggestions, Tom
