[Bug 871810] Re: Hardware mouse 'back key' doesn't work always in USC

 

dino99, the comment you refer to was an answer to Michael's question
about how to emulate the button clicks to reproduce the problem. It was
not "the real issue" or a solution for the problem.

Anyway, I've just borrowed a mouse with Back+Forward buttons, and
reproduced the problem in Ubuntu 14.04. In addition to the areas
highlighted by Robert Roth, the Back button is also incorrectly treated
as a primary-click on apps in the "What's New" and "Top Rated" apps on
the home screen -- but oddly, not on the "Top Rated" apps in a section
screen like "Games". The Forward button seems to be incorrectly treated
as a primary-click only on the toolbar.

Title:
  Hardware mouse 'back key' doesn't work always in USC

Status in software-center package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  software-center 5.0.1.4, 5.0.1.5, Ubuntu 11.10
  software-center 5.1.10, Ubuntu 12.04

  Problem 1
  When clicking on a category that has no sub-categories like 'Accessories' or 'Fonts' mouse-back-button-click will highlight the entry over which the mouse currently is instead of bringing me back to the USC main page.

  Problem 2
  When in a category with sub-categories like 'Developer Tools' and clicking the mouse-back-button when the mouse is over a sub-category icon nothing happens (no back-to-main-action is preformed).

  Problem 3
  When in a category with sub-categories like 'Developer Tools' and clicking the mouse-back-button when the mouse is over a 'Top Rated Developer Tools' item it acts like a left click and opens the top rated item instead of preforming a back-to-main-menu action.
