Weird mouse behavior in Ubuntu 18.04
1
I am a newbie in Ubuntu and want to understand/prevent a mouse behavior in applications (text and code editors). This behavior includes:
- Select each and every line my mouse is hovering over.
- Scroll up or down as my mouse exits the text region upwards or downwards.
- Clicks stop being captured in applications. I can click on the Ubuntu menu bar. But within applications I can only move the mouse around, but unable to click.
Every time this happens I have to restart my computer, and I have even lost unsaved documents due to this.
