Since a while I have problems with using the mouse (Logitech M305). So I decided to reinstall Linux Mint (18.3, 64-bits on Medion Akoya E7227/MD98742-16 GB RAM). A few weeks all went as I expected but now it is junk again.
Example: I select one post in Thunderbird t delete it by pressing the (right) mouse-button the delete-button in the programm the selected post disappears. But, by releasing the mouse-button the next post disappears also. Selecting a spot in a text-document does not select the spot itself but the entire word or by releasing the button the entire sentence.
The mouse is ok. I used it on a Windows laptop to and it gave no problems.

Re: Mouse problem
The mouse settings are in setup-- mouse where you can tweak the mouse to your liking.
If I have helped you solve a problem, please add [SOLVED] to your first post title, it helps other users looking for help.

Re: Mouse problem
Dying mice can behave very unpredictable. How behaves the touchpad? Or if possible another mouse?

I used several different mice; on a Windows 10 laptop these mice all function as usual.Cosmo. wrote:Dying mice can behave very unpredictable. How behaves the touchpad? Or if possible another mouse?
Unfortunately the touchpad doesn't function at all because Medion gives no support...
Re: Mouse problem
And all those mice show the same problem in Mint?

Re: Mouse problem
While you've stated the Touchpad doesn't work, I'm curious if it is involved, i.e. still enabled.
From Menu - Preferences - Mouse and Touchpad, disable Touchpad and test.

Re: Mouse problem
Indeed what ever mouse I use, the problem with Mint is the same
and
Not using the touchpad has to do with the refusal of Medion, the laptop manufacturer, to inform me how I can install it (no guaranty = no support as I experience it)

Re: Mouse problem
Launch the live system. Do you see the same problem there also?

Re: Mouse problem
Cosmo: unfortunately I do not know what "the live system" is.
I think I solved the problem. I put all setting on standard and it seems that my problem is solved. Ok some actions are a bit slower but that is better than the problems I had. Remarkable is that tis problem is not happens in the first weeks/month after installation Mint but after some time
