Since 4.0.0-rc something mu laptop has some mouse /keyboard problems.
When I play KDE kpatience, a card game, card stick to my mousepointer:
left mouse button down on a card, move mouse pointer and card to another
place. left mouse button up to drop the card. This should drop the card,
but often the mouse button up events gets stuck somewhere until I move
he mouse pointer a little bit.
In web based mail clients something similar happens when I drag mail to
another folder.
Sometime after I start a xterm and start typing, the letters don't
appear until move the mouse pointer.
Bisecting is out of the question. This kernel realease was so dramatic I
was glad to have functioning kde screen when rc4 arrived.
My laptop is a Dell Latitude D430, it has a touchpad and a pointer an
two sets of buttons.

Linus just merged 2 fixes to ALPS driver that might help you. Could
you please try compiling tip of the tree and telling me if it fixes
your issue?
Thanks.

I am at rc.7 and the problem is still there. But maybe you can get away
with "user error". Here is a picture of the layout of my laptop:
http://img.clubic.com/000000DC00604500-photo-dell-latitude-d430-4.jpg
Lets call the blue thing ts. The buttons directly beneath the keys ts-l
and ts-r. For the touchpad tp, tp-l and tp-r. And because one can never
have to many input devices um, um-l and um-r for a usb mouse.
When I play kpatience and stick to one device ts or ts-l or mp and mp-l
no problems arise. I can also mix devices for example um and tp-l. There
are several combinations. Only one of these ts and tp-l show the
problematic behavior. This is the way i use my laptop (user error?)
Now something to distract you from the issue, something almost
completely different. Something which is also present in 3.18 and
probably before. Firefox and other programs have scrollbars on the right
side. One can click on it, move the slider and release the button.
Except with the combination tp and ts-l, It does not work. Al other
combinations do.

Thanks for the detaied reproducer, I can reproduce this on my Dell d620,
I will investigate further and go back to you.

Ok, this one is a regression which is caused by:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/input/mouse/alps.c?id=04aae283ba6a8cd4851d937bf9c6d6ef0361d794
I've attached a fix which I will formally send / submit upstream in a few minutes too.
> Now something to distract you from the issue, something almost completely different. Something which is also present in 3.18 and probably before. Firefox and other programs have scrollbars on the right side. One can click on it, move the slider and release the button. Except with the combination tp and ts-l, It does not work. Al other combinations do.
This one is not a regression, it is an issue which we've seem to have had for ages and no one has found, or at least
described this accurately until now :) I've done some debugging and this one is fixable, but that is best left to 4.1
I'll whip up a patch and submit it when it is ready.

Hans

Attached is a patch which fixes this for me on my d620, please test
both patches.
