I currently experiencing problems when i try to drag with my mouse.
You can see it here, i try to select all the visible text by holding the left click:
It is like i am releasing and re-clicking multiples times, but i'm not.
I'm under Debian Bullseye / Gnome 3.38.4, but the problem was here in Debian Buster / Gnome 3.30
With evtest i can see the events (again, i just click, hold, and release):
Event: time 1619623912.689252, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90001
Event: time 1619623912.689252, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 272 (BTN_LEFT), value 1
Event: time 1619623912.818225, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90001
Event: time 1619623912.818225, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 272 (BTN_LEFT), value 0
Event: time 1619623913.801254, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90001
Event: time 1619623913.801254, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 272 (BTN_LEFT), value 1
Event: time 1619623915.802232, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90001
Event: time 1619623915.802232, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 272 (BTN_LEFT), value 0
You can see there is release/press events (lines 3,4,5,6) but these are not related to my actions on the mouse.
There is no "ghost" events (the problem only appears when i'm holding the click, but the mouse does not click itself when i dont touch it)
Maybe my mouse is dead (its a good G502 mouse always connected to a workstation) ? A USB problem ? A Software problem ? How i can check this ?
It's is very annoying to copy/paste, to drag and drop, to drag selection. etc etc etc...
Thank you !
EDIT: As Thomas Guyot-Sionnest has said, it's probably an hardware issue, i found a video, it's not exactly the same problem, but the cause may be the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVlhNlZWTuw
