So Xubuntu 18.10 shor term release has got a working mouse driver again. This is good to hear.
However we Xubuntu 18.04 LTS users absolutely need the mouse package to be back-ported i.e. fixed also in 18.04 LTS, because it's a long term support release and widely used. And this mouse driver bug is a show-stopper: currently a fresh installation of Xubuntu 18.04.0 or 18.04.1 LTS for many users and machines is not being useable because the mouse driver just doesn't work properly. How could anybody use a Xubuntu installation with a working mouse (driver) ?
Please, Xubuntu developers reading this bug-report here, back-port the mouse driver from Xubuntu 18.10 to Xubuntu 18.04 LTS. Like you did with the back-then always crashing Thunar in 16.04 LTS until the Thunar fixes got back-ported starting with Xubuntu 16.04.2 or so.
Thanks.
