Hello,

For the past 2-3 months, I've had some pretty annoying issues with mouse behavior: mouse handling becomes extremely difficult, e.g. when I try to drag the mouse cursor, nothing happens at first, then the cursor jumps to half the screen.
I searched on the web for a solution and didn't find more or less intelligible hint.
There are suggestions to do some actions based on result of xinput command.
I run it, but it seems that my mouse Logitech M187 isn't recognized.
Code:
pavel@MISSURI:~$ xinput --list --short
WARNING: running xinput against an Xwayland server. See the xinput man page for details.
⎡ Virtual core pointer                        id=2    [master pointer  (3)]

pavel@MISSURI:~
I visited Logitech,
https://www.drivers-logitech.com/logitech-m187-driver/
According to this page Logitech has no Linux driver for this mouse.
I worked with this mouse since at least 3 years ... and if my memory is good, the these mouse issues started to appear after upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 (but I'm not sure at 100%).
Any suggestions ?
Thanks
