Public bug reported: The page mouse-middleclick.html gives a link to:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks#A2-button_Mice It seems to be a software workaround for a hardware bug that affects some mice (presumably pressing the left and right mouse buttons at the same time doesnt generate middle-click until the workaround is applied). Is the hardware bug still common? Are the instructions still correct? If yes to both questions then I think the software workaround should be incorporated into the desktop help (we shouldn't be relying on a link into the middle of an old wiki page - eg I know what "natty and newer" means but people new to Ubuntu won't know). ** Affects: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-docs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1631718 Title: Middle-click emulation quirk Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The page mouse-middleclick.html gives a link to: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks#A2-button_Mice It seems to be a software workaround for a hardware bug that affects some mice (presumably pressing the left and right mouse buttons at the same time doesnt generate middle-click until the workaround is applied).
