And if you press "C-h l" (that's the letter ell, not the digit one)
after pressing the mouse on the tool bar, what does Emacs show in the
*Help* buffer it pops up?

So it sounds like Emacs doesn't get some of the mouse clicks in your
case?

What about dragging the scroll bar's thumb with the mouse-does that
work?

Maybe review the mouse settings to make sure nothing there prevents
these clicks from being reported to Emacs?
