I'm running up-to-date amd64~ system.
For the last couple of days or a week the first click on a link in Firefox or some button is not detected as a click and I have to click twice or more.
Draging&dropping is hard to achieve or even impossible.

I'm running xorg-xserver-1.13, tried a 1.12.4 but the problem is the same.
I tried both latest versions of e17 and fluxbox, both exhibit the problem, so I guess it is not wm dependant.
I tried to use new user and the problem doesn't go away.

Has anyone seen this problem?
What can I do to debug it?

Sounds like the clicking mechanism in your mouse getting old, or maybe got dust in it - a common hardware problem.

It might be this as I'm currently using another mouse which doesn't have this problem.
