Wild thought: how good is the battery level in the mouse? back when I used a Macbook Pro it would sometimes disconnect because of battery level, then work again for a while after toggling the connection before doing it again. Might be entirely unrelated of course. I have occasional blips with my BT mouse in KDE (using a Broadcom dongle) especially after resuming from suspension (not so much for hibernation). They fix themselves when I pull the dongle and reinsert it, or use a second mouse to click on the KDE BT widget Connect button. I've never been able to figure out what's going on. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
