Benjamin McGough, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.

As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-
support/product/optiplex-780/diagnose an update to your computer's buggy
and outdated BIOS is available (A15). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Kensington Trackball EmulateMiddleButton disabled; only 2 buttons

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The Kensington Orbit Trackball is a USB device with two physical
  buttons, a scroll ring, and the ball. By default EmulateMiddleButton
  is disabled, but should be enabled as there is no third button.

  The only reason I'm reporting this is that I really really like this
  device - I've been searching for a good trackball most of my career,
  and this is the best I have found.
