Mouse can't click on Wayland ubuntu 17.10

Question

I use Ubuntu 17.10 and just recently I experience mouse issue which can't click on wayland. If I switch to Xorg or unity my mouse click back to normal. The problem is I depending on wayland because my wine application works better on wayland, while on Xorg or Unity it crashes everytime I strated the program.

I already tried

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

but it doesn't seem bring any differences, Please help

this makes me frustated, i did a fresh install, it work for a moment but after i update and restart, the problem persist, meanwhile i'm on deadline.
perhaps the problem is on the kernel, can anyone help? — 6warrior, Jan 17 '18 at 09:58
Try using sudo rmmod psmouse followed by sudo modprobe psmouse as described in this answer and let me know. — WinEunuuchs2Unix, Jan 17 '18 at 11:13
Yeah that fix is for broken touchpad under kernel 4.13 and I was hoping it worked for mice too. Hope you find the bug soon. — WinEunuuchs2Unix, Jan 17 '18 at 13:15
I get the unresponsive mouse too after upgrading to 4.13.0-25-generic. Not sure if it's the kernel or some other update that broke it. — SurvivalMachine, Jan 18 '18 at 17:46
after fresh install for numerous of time (not to mention switching distro), mouse went back to normal, now i'm using this kernel 4.13.0-32-generic. I'm not so sure where the problem was — 6warrior, Jan 30 '18 at 04:44

Disabling Wayland must solve this issue. Similar question was answered here. Worked for me.

If you wish to do it permanently, edit

/etc/gdm3/custom.conf and uncomment the line:

#WaylandEnable=false

Save the file and then on reboot you will never see the cog asking for which session to use.
