I have noticed on the computer I have (ZaReason, just over a year old), that sometimes the mouse gets "stuck" when I try to move it, and even though it is just for a couple of seconds, that is enough to drop the ball.

I have noticed that this happens on some distros, but not others. I am currently using MX Linux, which is Debian-based. I tried installing the proprietary drivers, but it did not help.

The mouse does not get stuck when I am doing other tasks.

This problem did not occur on my old computer. Any thoughts?

Okay, I tried adjusting the mouse sensitivity and acceleration, and that seemed to help somewhat. I thought I had tried that in the past and that it hadn't helped, but I guess not.
