Since the update from 10.10 to 11.10, my mouse-buttons sometimes exchange. Happens for example once waking up from suspend-to-ram. Now when clicking a link with the left button it’ll open a popup-menu, so I have to use the right mouse button instead. It doesn't matter if using the internal laptop-buttons or an external usb mouse.

Any thoughts on why this happens and how to get rid of it?

This question appears to be abandoned and unanswered, could you perhaps add more detail to your question? If this question no longer applies then you can either delete it or answer it yourself if you've solved the problem. Thanks! – Mark Rooney Apr 5 '12 at 12:49
I think the description is clear enough (unless someone explicitly asks for more information). I don't have a clue what actually causes this, so I've no idea what's wrong. Seems to be a (rather rare) bug. – rumpel Apr 6 '12 at 7:27
If it still occurs after regular updates I would report it as a bug. – Mark Rooney Apr 6 '12 at 9:12
