After poking around Google to find a solution, I came here, and I'm still stumped. I just upgraded to 18.04 last night, and I tried GCC to swap my mouse/touchpad buttons back to lefty-normal, and that failed. So I went to the terminal. "gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.mouse left-handed" comes back with "true".
I saw someone say that there was an update that fixed this, but I've checked for updates after upgrading, and the only update was for the Chrome browser. Nothing mouse-related, and my buttons still aren't right. Any ideas? This is a major PITA for a lefty who uses these buttons all the time. Thank goodness it's not my work laptop (can't convince the office to ditch Windows), but it's still a big problem. In fact, I am writing this on my work laptop because I kept hitting the wrong button on my personal one. It's putting me at a bit of a handicap. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758306 Title: Cannot switch mouse primary button to Right (left-handed) in Settings Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xserver-xorg-input-libinput package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Prior to yesterday's (March 22/18) Bionic update, I had my mouse configured for left handed use. That is the mouse primary button being switched to the right. GCC doesn't seem to work for this now. I don't know if it's related to evdev or what. Held back reporting this in case it was fixed by changes overnight. Updated this morning and problem persists.
