[Bug 1553811] [NEW] Thinkpad T460: Trackpoint mouse buttons instantly generate "release" event on press

 

Public bug reported:

When using the trackpoint mouse buttons on the laptop, when any of the
buttons are pressed a release event immediately follows, even if the
mouse button is being held down. This prevents moving of windows,
typical drag & drop operations, selection etc with the mouse.

Example output from xev for button 1:

ButtonPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x7e00001,
    root 0xb6, subw 0x0, time 1097221, (116,59), root:(116,142),
    state 0x0, button 1, same_screen YES

ButtonRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x7e00001,
    root 0xb6, subw 0x0, time 1097229, (116,59), root:(116,142),
    state 0x100, button 1, same_screen YES

Button 2:
ButtonPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x7e00001,
    root 0xb6, subw 0x0, time 1100941, (116,59), root:(116,142),
    state 0x0, button 2, same_screen YES

ButtonRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x7e00001,
    root 0xb6, subw 0x0, time 1100941, (116,59), root:(116,142),
    state 0x200, button 2, same_screen YES

Button 3:
ButtonPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x7e00001,
    root 0xb6, subw 0x0, time 1098467, (116,59), root:(116,142),
    state 0x0, button 3, same_screen YES

ButtonRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x7e00001,
    root 0xb6, subw 0x0, time 1098477, (116,59), root:(116,142),
    state 0x400, button 3, same_screen YES
