OK, this is bizarre. For most of the afternoon, I was running in the 14.3 kernel instead of the new because I was doing an online class that required a lot of clicking. I finished the class and then came here to see if there were new messages. So, I ran 'gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.mouse left-handed' in the terminal, and it returned true.
But then I remembered I was still in the old kernel, so I restarted my laptop and booted the new kernel. Now, I've already done this a couple of times today, and nothing has changed with the buttons. But when I booted the new kernel just now, the problem appears to have resolved itself, and my right button is actually primary as I had set it to be. So, the problem is somehow resolved, but I'm curious as to how booting one kernel and then another seems to have made the difference. I haven't run any updates or anything. Happy, but curious/confused. -- 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.
