only some more straws to grab at

- any hints in dmesg?

- if it is a USB mouse, have you tried plugging it into a different 
port?   Have you tried a different mouse (to be sure it's not a hardware 
issue)

- have you tried xev?

- I have no idea if any of the settings in System 
Settings/Accessibility/Mouse Navigation might help, or at least help 
with debugging.
