I agree that the change described in this bug report is EXTREMELY
annoying -- especially since the documentation HAS NOT been updated to
reflect these changes. I recommend that either the documentation (i.e.,
the info file) be updated or the code changed back to the original
behavior.
Meanwhile, those who prefer the original behavior of the mouse buttons
can fix it by sticking the following in their $HOME/.gv file:
----------------------------------------
GV*Ghostview.baseTranslations: #replace \n\
~Button1 ~Button3 <Btn1Down>: cursor(scroll) \
GV_MovePage(start) \
GV_EraseLocator() \n\
~Button1 ~Button3 <Btn1Motion>: GV_MovePage(move,1.0,0) \n\
<Btn1Up>: cursor(normal) \
GV_MovePage(stop) \
GV_OtherPage() \
notify() \n\
~Button2 ~Button3 s <Btn1Down>: cursor(scroll) \
GV_MovePage(start) \
GV_EraseLocator() \
GV_MiscMenu(init) \n\
~Button2 ~Button3 s <Btn1Motion>: GV_MovePage(move,0,1.0) \n\
s <Btn1Up>: cursor(normal) \
GV_MiscMenu(popup) \
notify() \n\
~Button1 ~Button2 s <Btn3Down>: GV_MagMenu(begin) \n\
~Button1 ~Button2 s <Btn3Motion>: GV_MagMenu(extend) \n\
~Button1 ~Button2 s <Btn3Up>: GV_MagMenu(choose) \n\
~Button2 ~Button3 <Btn2Down>: GV_MagMenu(begin) \n\
Button2 <Btn1Down>: GV_MagMenu(reset) \n\
Button2 <Btn3Down>: GV_MagMenu(reset) \n\
~Button2 ~Button3 <Btn2Motion>: GV_MagMenu(extend) \n\
~Button2 ~Button3 <Btn2Up>: GV_MagMenu(choose) \n\
~Button1 ~Button2 <Btn3Down>: cursor(scroll) \
GV_MovePage(start) \
GV_EraseLocator() \
GV_MiscMenu(init) \n\
Button3 <Btn2Down>: GV_MiscMenu(reset) \n\
Button3 <Btn1Down>: GV_MiscMenu(reset) \n\
~Button1 ~Button2 <Btn3Motion>: GV_MovePage(move,0,1.0) \n\
<Btn3Up>: cursor(normal) \
GV_MiscMenu(popup) \
notify() \n\
Button2 ~Button3 <Btn1Down>: GV_Page(redisplay) \n\
Button2 ~Button1 <Btn3Down>: GV_Page(redisplay) \n\
<Message>: message() \n\
<EnterWindow>: notify() \n\
<LeaveWindow>: GV_EraseLocator() \n\
<MotionNotify>: notify()
----------------------------------------
This can also be used as a replacement in the src/gv_misc_res.dat file
to convert gv back to its original behavior.
