Whenenver I try to use my mouse without a dongle (direct connection through bluetooth), I get the situation in the picture.

I’d like to give you more information but there isn’t a pattern. It happens in the middle of using it. It happens when I don’t move for a while, then suddenly move my mouse. It happens if I was using the scroll wheel for a while and started moving the mouse again. It has no learnable pattern.

The mouse works perfectly if I use the dongle. Mouse worked (probably still works) perfectly in Windows. I’m on Linux Mint (Zara)

I tried what little (4 threads) information I could find about this topic so I’m here.

Any solutions?

Edit: Thank you everyone but the solution to the problem is bigger than the problem. I thought it would be an easy solution but I need this USB slot once every 3 months, I can live with that :D

    Your comment purports to be English ,US (language_id=1) but uses non-conforming characters. My client should not show me this garbage, as it is not English and it is painful to try to read it.

    For these reasons, I have downvoted you in the past, then later blocked. Yet here you are, cluttering up my experience.

    Today, because your misbehavior continues, I am taking the additional further steps of blocking you from my accounts as well as adding your most commonly abused words to my client-side keyword filters.

      @higgsboson @Sxan such an extreme mesure for an “insignificant” act, at least for tunisians, it’s normal to find latin (french & english) & arabic & strange symbols (a mix between latin letters & arabic numbers understood as common tunisian) on the same text, for 99.99% of tunisian people

        I’m not allowed curate my experience? lol. Nah. Fuck all that. You dont get to dictate what I see here.

        I also block most mastadon instances for similar readability reasons. No offense intended, I just dislike the clutter. Feel free to return the favor. ;)
