    rEFInd mouse support stopped working for me and many users since 11.3 version, so I took the time to bisect it and managed to make a trivial patch to fix it, see https://sourceforge.net/p/refind/code/merge-requests/29/ for more details.

    Hopefully this will get merged in the next 12.x release, meanwhile you can easily build patched refind_x64.efi yourself by cloning my repo git clone -b fix-mouse-bug https://git.code.sf.net/u/ignapk/refind and running inside it make gnuefi (note: you might need to install gnu-efi package from your distro repositories). After that just replace /EFI/refind/refind_x64.efi executable on your ESP with newly generated in refind/ folder. For more information on building check out the BUILDING.txt file. If you can't/don't want to build it from source I uploaded patched refind_x64.efi as attachment to this post as well.

    I would really appreciate any feedback and help with testing this, thanks in advance.
