T510 Trackpoint Mouse Button Randomly Loses Click??

I have a brand new T510, coming from a T61p. Everything is GREAT but ONE thing...
Occasionally when I am using the trackpointer (which I do often) the left click button will lose the click that it has, let me try and explain...
I click down to grab a window and drag it, start dragging, suddenly without depressing the button at all, it just drops the window, and then the click kicks back on a split second later either grabbing something else or clicking something else giving it the focus.
I can replicated it occasionally and opened paint, started drawing a long curvy line without unclicking the button and the line ends up with breaks in it!
Has anyone had this issue? It is VERY irritating...

1. Does vertical scroll work elsewhere? Like in Adobe Reader or a long Wordpad document?
2. Same here; do clicks work elsewhere?
I've only seen the delay when my CPU is being maxed out and SynTPEnh.exe doesn't intercept the middle-drag in time.

  • How to retrieve last mouse button that was clicked?

    Is there a function that gets the last mouse button that was pressed? I am creating a GUI in the MATLAB environment, and its mouse button detection abilities are quite limited. Since MATLAB can import Java classes, I am hoping I can get around MATLAB's limitations by issuing a java command that will tell me which button was pressed (in MATLAB a cntrl left click and a right click are given the same tag!!!!)
    If this is possible, can someone show me the java code to get the mouse click info (note: I do not need any java mouse action callback behavior - I just need to know the last mouse click)
    -brian

    This is probably something that you will have to do yourself. You can use the MouseListener interface and then store the last mouse click in a class variable. This is only theory to me as I have not done it myself.

  • Edge S430 - Touchpad, Trackpoint & Mouse Buttons Not Functioning Correctly

    Hi.
    My new Lenovo S430's Trackpad works most of the time but sometimes just suddenly stops working and I have to restart the laptop using keyboard navigation Often this happens when the machine is under load like an antivirus scan or similar. Sometimes the Trackpad is also sluggish to respond, like it ignores the first touch.
    The Trackpoint and mouse buttons (the ones above the Touchpad) work for the first 3-5 minutes after boot up and then suddenly stops working and doesn't start again until it's restarted.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling most of the drivers (for various other issues) on the machine but it hasn't helped.
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Hi there.
    First of all, I'd like to say that Lenovo Customer Care have been extremely difficult to deal with and quite unhelpful; They are no longer returning communications and have seriously damaged any faith I had in Lenovo as a brand and the extended warranty I bought is useless. I cannot recommend their products to friends or collegues as a result.
    Now that that is out of the way, what I've gleaned from the hours spent trying to get through to customer care and the minutes talking to them is that the problem is in one of three places:
    1. Microscopic crack in motherboard (highly unlikely, but still it's a hypothesis thrown around by my computer tech friends)
    2. The keyboard and touch pad connectors are improperly seated or faulty
    3. The RAM modules are improperly seated or faulty
    As far as I know there is no solution to problem 1 IF it is indeed the cause. I tend to apply the following process to try to cover both possible causes 2 and 3:
    1. Remove keyboard and connectors from laptop
    2. Remove and replace RAM modules
    3. Remove touchpad connector (it looks like a tiny connector like how the two keyboard connectors attach to the motherboard)
    4. Replace all connectors very carefully and ensuring that they are fully installed
    5. Replace keyboard
    That SHOULD do it in theory. It's worth pointing out that I haven't had to do this with my laptop since January, but the trust is broken. I used to have to do it at least once a week since I got it and it was a nightmare, especially in the middle of a busy college term.
    I hope that helps.

  • HELP! Both mouse buttons are Right-Click!

    Hi. So I just installed USB Overdrive on my 10.6.1 iMac 2.66, and one of the buttons was conflicting; I thought it might be an issue with Apple's official mouse & keyboard prefs. So I went in, and I accidentally switched the right click/left click, and now I cannot click on ANYTHING because both buttons are right-click. I tried restarting in the hopes that USB Overdrive would override the system prefs, but no dice. Could someone help? Is there any way I can manipulate system prefs without the use of clicking? Thanks!

    Yes, of course. The link was only meant as a reference to get in TM under the DVD (where the mouse should work correctly). The OP should only restore the folder mentioned.
    you can not restore just one folder using TM restore utility on the DVD. you can only restore the whole system. this might be the easiest in this case. otherwise one can try logging in as root. this should be possible since AFAIK, USB overdrive mouse settings are user specific. then one can try restoring just what's needed from the main user home directory.

  • Uncontrollable mouse button events (single clicks are doubled?)

    Hello, folks--
    I am having a mouse problem that is driving me up the wall. The mouse in question is an optical IM/PS2 mouse--it is a cheap no-name product, but has worked fine for 2 or 3 years. The trouble started maybe six weeks ago when I did a full upgrade. The most important change that I know of in that upgrade was the introduction of HAL, so I strongly suspect that the cause of the problem is related to my HAL configuration, or perhaps a conflict between that and my X config. But anyway, the symptoms I've been seeing include (but are not limited to):
      * Firefox: a single click selects an entire paragraph
      * Thunderbird: a single click in the message list opens the message in a new window
      * Xfwm: a single click on the "windowshade" button collapses the window, then expands it again
        (or vice versa, depending on the initial state)
      * Xfwm: when dragging a window quickly, the mouse "loses its grip"--i.e. the window stops moving even
        though I am still moving the mouse
    None of these things happens every time, but they all happen often. The problems seem most severe in Firefox, but given that similar things happen elsewhere, I would imagine that's due to Firefox's complex event handling exposing a pervasive problem, rather than any kind of application-specific issue.
    With the possible exception of the window-dragging issue, all the above symptoms are consistent with a problem I have seen reported elsewhere, that single clicks are being read as double clicks. However, the only clearly applicable solution I've seen for that issue is to remove all mouse configuration from Xorg.conf, leaving it up to HAL. I tried that and it didn't seem to change anything. However, at the same time I purged the mouse from Xorg.conf, I created an FDI file for the mouse in /etc/hal/fdi/policy. I wonder now if that was necessary--there was no FDI for the mouse before, but perhaps there doesn't really need to be one if you aren't applying any special settings? Dunno, I don't understand much about HAL yet.
    I have tried a couple of other things: first, I set the double click speed to the minimum using the Xfce Mouse Settings applet (BTW, I suppose this applet is a front-end to some shell command or config file, but what?). That seems to help, but only a little. Second, if I use the mouse in an unnaturally precise manner (e.g., when single-clicking, I click as quickly as possible and lift my finger all the way off the button), the problems mostly, but not entirely, disappear.
    Any suggestions?

    Did you try another mouse by chance?
    Well, no, and I suppose to be thorough I should try that. But I am quite sure that the problem appeared suddenly, and exactly at the time of the upgrade I mentioned.
    Well, it could be that your fdi modification tries to catch the mouse events twice in a row. Perhaps you should post the file.
    Besides: There is are no mouse specific fdi settings in my system. I currently have no idea where the mouse behaviour was defined besides my still old xorg.conf. (I did only activate Option "AutoAddDevices".)

  • ThinkPad T510 - both sets of mouse buttons acting strange

    A few days ago, on my ThinkPad t510, the mouse buttons for both trackpad and trackpoint went haywire. Left clicks were registering as right click.. and right click buttons did nothing. 
    At first, I thought "haha, someone's pulled a prank on me and swapped them".. Negative. After checking in mouse control panel, all was well. Ran System Update and Windows Update, all up to date. Ran the gamut of spyware and malware tools, nothing. 
    Then I booted into a Live Linux environment, to eliminate the possibility of undetected malware and anything on the Windows 7 install itself being corrupt. Same thing was going on. 
    If I use a usb external mouse, it fixes it, but still the integrated right click buttons don't work. 
    I've ordered a new keyboard and palmrest w/ trackpad assembly, in case it's that... so we shall see. 
    However, has anyone had anything like this happen? Or have any idea what may be causing it? 

    Hi, I got the same problem on my T510 4313 , this weekend. I tried the configuration ,  but eventually just reloaded the OS , factory reinstall. it worked for an afternoon and back to the same problem. I see you ordered the new keybaord and palm rest, did that fix the problem?

  • Right click as primary mouse button won't work

    Here's my problem...
    I go into system preferences / keyboard & mouse and click on "Right" under "Primary mouse button:".
    Then I close system preferences, but my right click isn't set as my main click (the contextual menu keeps popping up).
    So I re-open system prefs / keyboard & mouse and notice that "Primary mouse button" is set to left again, so I click on "Right" again, close system prefs.
    The same thing happens again:(
    I tossed preferences for keyboard & mouse, repaired permissions, restarted...no dice. I'm on a powerbook g4 osx 10.4.7 & it's a logitech mouse (logitech's latest driver is bunk..I had it installed previously but uninstalled because the same thing was happening).
    The thing that bugs me is that i have an imac at work w/ 10.4.7 and it works fine with the same mouse!
    Anyone...please....
    Thanks!
    Powerbook G4 15'   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Hey, thanks for getting back:)
    I'm using a logiech mouse w/ left & right click buttons. It's possible that if you're not using a 2 button mouse, "Right" does not appear in the Keyboard & Mouse system pref.
    I'm trying to make the actual right mouse button on my mouse my main click & make the left mouse button my right click. Basically I want to reverse the mouse buttons.
    About the test user account...if it does work correctly in the new account, how can I make it work in my main account?
    Thanks again

  • Any methods or interfaces for Mouse Left and Right click actions?

    Could anyone tell me the methods that I can use for setting up Mouse Left click and Mouse Right click actions? I checked the on-line API and could not find those specifications. Maybe I misses something and did not find them. If you just happen to know it, could you reply this message or you can tell me where I can search to find it. Thanks for your help. Bob

    I believe you just set up to receive all mouse click events regardless of which mouse button the user clicked. When you get the MouseEvent object, call its getModifiers method to get an indication of which mouse button was pressed. Check the javadocs for MouseEvent, paying particular attention to "the button mask in the modifer field"

  • Why is it that sometimes when I use my middle mouse button to click on a link to open it in a new tab I will have it open it in an entirely new instance of Firefox instead of a new tab?

    Occasionally when I click on a link with my middle mouse button, instead of opening the page in a new tab, it will open a new instance of Firefox.
    I've looked through some of the settings and I wasn't able to find anything. It really gets to be bothersome at times because I prefer things to be in tabs instead of a new browser.

    It's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
    It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be.

  • Lenovo Thinkpad Compact USB Keyboard with Trackpoint: Middle mouse button and scrolling

    I got this keyboard (KU-1255).
    Unfortunately, it generates bogus mouse button events if I click the middle mouse button and use the trackpoint:
    With "thinkpad scrolling mode" disabled, the middle mouse button is released as soon as I move the trackpoint while still pressing the button!
    Expected behaviour: The middle mouse button is pressed, the event created. Moving the trackpoint moves the cursor normally. Releasing the middle button creates a corresponding event.
    With "thinkpad scrolling mode" enabled, the button is registered as pressed, then scrolling occurs as I move the trackpoint and the button is released if I release it.
    Expected behaviour: No middle mouse button event is registered if I move the trackpoint. Pressing and releasing the middle mouse button is only registered if I click the button without moving the trackpoint.
    When will there be a firmware update available for the keyboard, like for the SK-8855?
    Since I am also using Linux, I would be really interested in fixing this in the firmware, not only getting a new Windows driver.

    Help please.

  • My palm rest clicks the trackpad mouse button!

    Every time I put any pressure on the right palm rest above the optical drive on my 15" MBP C2D (with where the meaty part of my thumb would naturally rest), the aluminum flexes and clicks my mouse button. It's starting to bother me with random clicks when I least expect them.
    Furthermore, if I press down on the right side of the palm rest near the right arrow key, there's a noise/feeling similar to how your shoes feel on a sticky, soda covered floor.
    Does anyone else have this fit and finish issue?

    No, although this does sometimes happen. Contact AppleCare and explain your situation and most likely you'll get it fixed.

  • Firefox Loses Window Focus, Mouse Button profiles change to default

    I have a G700 mouse, which supports various hotkey profiles. For default profile, i have most buttons disabled. For games, i have game-specific hotkeys, and for firefox, i have firefox specific hotkeys (new tab, close tab, etc).
    There are 2 times that I notice this behavior:
    1) During regular browsing, clicking on various links causes firefox to lose focus, and the mouse software reverts from the "firefox" profile to the "default" profile. Interacting with firefox in any way does not fix this problem. the only way for firefox to become the default profile again is to click a different window or on the desktop, and then click back into firefox. The profile seems to be lost right after clicking a (javascript) link, though the number of links clicked is arbitrary. I cannot reproduce this issue with any fixed results (number of click, time period before losing focus, etc). But I can reproduce this issue reliably.
    When the mouse buttons stop working, the keyboard hotkey shortcuts DONT stop working. I dont have to re-select the firefox window to use keyboard shortcuts, I only have to do that if i want to use the mouse shortcut.
    2) If I am in private browsing mode, clicking links (specifically for websites that contain flash) causes the window which contains flash to move into the background and the non-private window becomes the foreground. Again, the mouse loses focus and the only way to regain focus is to manually click the window or to click away on a non-firefox object, then click the window. I believe this is a flashplayer based issue, though, and is unrelated to the profiles issue. When this happens, any interaction with a flash video also forces firefox's KEYBOARD hotkeys to not work. Ctrl+w and ctrl+t dont do anything, hitting escape does not give firefox control over keyboard hotkeys, and hitting "tab" only selects elements within the flash object. For youtube, it cycles through various clickable controls.
    EDIT: I have tried resetting the firefox profile and using a completely new profile, and i have also tried syncing profiles. This is a persistent problem.

    I'm using Firefox 23. This has been a problem since I got my mouse in September ish of 2012. As I stated, I've worked with logitech on this issue, they have no idea why it happens because only firefox exhibits this behavior. No other app on my computer does this and Firefox reset and clean profile do not do anything to solve the problem. Using logitech logging, I can produce a log and output of whenever the profile switches. I might be able to use logitech scripting to output debug information about what exactly causes it but that would take dev time I don't have.

  • Mouse buttons and keyboard randomly stop responding on secondary display

    Hey,
    I'm facing this weird problem after a recent upgrade to Snow Leopard:
    In about half of the cases I'm switching to application windows on a secondary/external display the mouse buttons and Macbook keyboard are unresponsive. I have to keep clicking/pressing for some time or have to switch between applications to get them working, until they'll fail again after some time.
    I tested it with two different external displays with VGA and DVI adapter, different screen resolutions, I tested the mouse and mouse software, both keyboard and mouse work fine with the same applications moved to the primary laptop screen, trackpad works fine too.
    This occurred after the upgrade to Snow Leopard on a 2008 unibody Macbook. Updates to 10.6.2 didn't solve the problem.
    I'd be happy if anyone could help me with this issue.
    Thanks

    You do not provide the full model number but if it is an AMD processor you are seeing the start of video issues that plague that series. The freeze is caused by bad video memory which is a part of the video card in turn part of the motherboard. I have been getting a high percentage of people who do not respond back to posts so I am not going to write everything about your issue; it could be a book. I am happy to help further if you have any questions. There are some repair options but at the end of the day, you might want to consider a new laptop.

  • Firefox did an automatic update to 6.01, and now my middle mouse button is not working in the browser. It doesn't close tabs, it doesn't open new tabs by middle clicking a link, it doesn't allow me to middle click to scroll the page...

    [BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
    I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
    Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
    I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
    I hope this helps!
    EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
    https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
    EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!

  • Iphoto ver 8.1.2 unable to open iphoto. can hold down mouse button and 1 page of iphoto will open. click anywhere on screen and iphoto closes

    Cannot open iPhoto. It's on the toolbar, but will not open. I can hold the mouse over the icon and hold the mouse button down and iPhoto will open to a thumbnail photo, but if I click anywhere on the page, iPhoto closes. iPhoto shows open on top of page, but practically all selectable items are gray.

    It sounds like the window might have slipped down below the Dock or similar. Try change your screen resolution and (SystemPreferneces -> Displays) and that should force it back into reach. The return the resolution to whatever it was.
