I am facing issues with mouse(external) clicks, which start misbehaving every now and then (left click stops working, sometimes right, or it gets into the drag and select mode). Any ideas as to what might be causing this?

Replace the mouse. Honestly, that is not the kind of questions expected here. – Aug 29 '17 at 13:34
I have a similar problem on occasion, (usually in a VM) and have not yet tried this: sudo rmmod usbhid && sudo modprobe usbhid may help. Your question is very similar to https://askubuntu.com/questions/763511/usb-mouse-not-working-after-installing-ubuntu-16-04-persistent-fix and https://askubuntu.com/questions/813220/usb-mouse-not-working-after-upgrading-from-14-04-to-16-04 – Charles Green Aug 29 '17 at 13:55

Do(es) the same issue(s) occur with different mice or with the same mouse of a live system? – David Foerster Aug 29 '17 at 14:55

Yes, it occurs with different mice. – erasmusp Aug 30 '17 at 07:17
