[Bug 1581088] Re: Middle mouse (wheel-click) button stopped working after upgrade to 16.04

 

I don't want to hijack a bug report (see my test at #22), but I strongly
believe that this should not be offloaded to "a buggy BIOS".

I am experiencing the same behaviour on quite a different system, it is (obviously?) a regression since it worked (on the same system) under 15.10 and previous versions. I agree that my BIOS is rather old but the notion "well, bad luck, you will have to buy a new motherboard to be able to use your mouse like before" gives me the creeps. I hope I am overreacting :-)
For completeness, my BIOS-Version

Title:
  Middle mouse (wheel-click) button stopped working after upgrade to
  16.04

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since upgrading to 16.04 clicking the middle mouse button (scroll
  wheel) on my Logitech M185 stopped working.

  xev does not even show the event for clicking the wheel, while it
  shows other button clicks and scroll wheel up/down events.

  xinput list shows the USB receiver 2 times:

  ⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
  ⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
  ⎜   ↳ Logitech USB Receiver                   	id=9	[slave  pointer  (2)]
  ⎜   ↳ Logitech USB Receiver                   	id=10	[slave  pointer  (2)]
  ⎜   ↳ HID 046a:0023                           	id=13	[slave  pointer  (2)]
  ⎜   ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad              	id=16	[slave  pointer  (2)]
  ⎜   ↳ TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint                   	id=17	[slave  pointer  (2)]

  Listing the capabilities looks like this:

  Does anyone have an idea how I can attempt to further debug that issue? Or maybe even a solution? Should I consider this issue a bug? Can I provide more info?
