[Bug 710762] Re: Middle mouse button no longer works

 

Sojourner, did you find a changelog that relates to this bug? I was just
looking and I couldn't find anything that sounded related within Ubuntu,
though it could be something upstream. (I haven't looked there yet).

If you still have that change and version number handy, I'm sure it
would help to figure out what is wrong and resolve it :)

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
  
  Since the update of xserver-xorg-input-evdev version 1:2.6.0-1ubuntu1,
- the middle mouse button no longer functions in Natty. I have since
- upgraded to version 1:2.6.0-1ubuntu3, but the middle mouse button still
- fails to function.
+ middle mouse button emulation (left and right click together) no longer
+ triggers a middle click in Natty. I have since upgraded to version
+ 1:2.6.0-1ubuntu3, but the middle mouse button still fails to function.
  
  A workaround is to add the following section to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but
  workaround should not be necessary to provide standard X11
  functionality.
  
  Section "InputClass"
  Identifier "middle button emulation class"
  MatchIsPointer "on"
  Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
  EndSection
  
  1) Release:	11.04
  2) Package version xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.6.0-1ubuntu3
  3) Expect middle mouse button to perform Past action
  4) Middle mouse button fails to operate
