Description of problem: clicking on the middle mouse button doesn't respond like the left/right click Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 25, fully updated. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. gnome-control-center mouse 2. click on "test your settings" 3. press down the left/right mouse buttons but don't release. You'll see that the ring shows a mouse press then goes away. All while the mouse button has been pressed and unreleased. 4. press without releasing the middle mouse button and nothing registers. Furthermore, even a slow press and release registers nothing. Actual results: Expected results: middle click should act like left/right buttons. Additional info: This is on a Lenovo t460p laptop and I'm using the buttons on the laptop. Plugging in an external mouse works normally.
does a quick press/release register anything? The button you press logically belongs to the trackpoint and we set up middle button scrolling on those by default (middle button + up/down on the trackpoint generates scroll events). because of that, we swallow long clicks because we expect them to be emulated. there's a patchset somewhere to fix that, but it's not applied yet afaict.
I grabbed libinput-1.7.0-1.fc27.x86_64 out of rawhide and now it's much better. a middle click is now registered on release of the middle mouse button. middle clicking on a usb mouse registers upon middle click press down. This is expected behavior and this bug can now be closed. thanks, jamo
ok, thanks for testing, much appreciated.
