Public bug reported: I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a Dell XPS 13 laptop with an external mouse and keyboard connected via a USB switch.*
I've set the mouse to left-handed operation (i.e. primary mouse button = right) using gnome-control-center; this works fine for a while and shows the expected setting on the command line: > gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.mouse left-handed true ...however if I leave the laptop for a while and come back to it, the mouse has reverted back to right-handed operation. The really curious thing is that gnome-control-center still shows the expected setting (primary mouse button = right). To set the mouse as desired, I have to change the primary mouse button to left and then back to right in gnome-control-center. It's almost as if gsettings is reverting the mouse configuration and becoming out of sync with gnome-control-center. *The laptop is connected to a monitor using a single USB-C cable; the monitor acts as a USB hub and is connected to a USB switch such that I can use a single keyboard and mouse with two machines.
