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

 

So two claims here and in the Natty "Known Issues" list that 2 button
mice are "quite rare" or "not very common". Yet the point made by an
earlier poster is ignored - nearly all laptops (except Macs) have only
two buttons. I understand that most developers may use a desktop machine
or a mouse connected to their laptop, but those of us who work on the go
often don't have space for a rodent. The third button is a key tool in
Linux/X and especially important to me. Ignoring users with slightly
different hardware to yourself = bad news. Please try to think about
other people's use cases, not just those that seem obvious to you.
