I never had this problem - for decades. Neither with mouses nor with the touchpad of my laptop, on which I need to click both buttons to emulate the central one. I'd suggest buying a new mouse. Cut-and-paste problems exist though. Cuting in a text processor like libreoffice records some markup. When I don't want it, I first paste into an xterm or into Emacs, and then cut again. Simple mouse-cut does not paste into (eg) Scribus; you need to cut the text from some application which handles Ctrl-C,or a menu-cut eg a web browser. -- Didier _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
