    Okay on my acer, i have downloaded a completely new OS (ubuntu) and i am still having this problem:

    my mouse and touchpad will only click in one window after about 30 minutes of use. This means that if i have a bunch of mozilla tabs open, i can click in either the active tab ONLY (cant change tabs or access the toolbar) or i can only click the toolbar.

    I dont really know how to explain it better than that.. but its like the curser gets stuck in my active window. I have tried updating the touchpad driver several times but i am still having the same issue...

    Does anyone else know what on earth i am talking about? Or better yet, have a fix for it?

    Thanks,
    -Kody-
