[Cialug] Mouse Clicker Gone Wild

[Matthew Nuzum]

I had this problem with a logitech v220 wireless mouse. It worked great
until the first time I changed the battery, then I had the exact problem as
you. I tested it in Windows and could not get it to happen so made the
switch permanent and traded mice with my son. With in a few weeks it was
happening to him too. I called Logitech and they replaced the mouse (they
have a good warranty). The replacement worked great until the first time I
changed the battery and then it happened again, same as before.

In every way it was identical to the problem you described. I've not been
able to duplicate it on the same computer with another mouse.
