Awesome! TigerVNC will need a rebuild for this to take effect. Can that be queued up as well?
FEDORA-2025-9bf140aab2 (fltk-1.3.11-1.fc41) has been pushed to the Fedora 41 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.
I can confirm that the current tigervnc package (tigervnc-1.15.0-2.fc41.x86_64) still doesn't have working back and forward mouse buttons.
The fltk-1.3.11 packages for Fedora 42 appeared in the last couple of days, maybe you need those on your F41 system.
fltk is upgraded on my system: > $ rpm -q fltk > fltk-1.3.11-1.fc41.x86_64 But that is not sufficient. TigerVNC must also be rebuilt with the new fltk-devel. Fortunately, it may resolve itself via bug 2356047, which will require a new TigerVNC package to be pushed out.
