The old-school way to test this is to run xev(1), probably found in package x11-utils. Just run it in a terminal window on your desktop. A small window white window appears. Events that window receives are spewed to the terminal. Move the mouse over it and try each of the buttons in turn. You should see a ButtonPress and a ButtonRelease event. It sounds like your middle button's flaky. Consider giving it a clean inside or whacking the mouse into the palm of your hand a couple of times. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2023-11-07 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
