RE: FW: xorg-server 1.13.1-1: problems with xterm

After rolling back to 1.13.0-1 version everything works as I expect. I have four computers WIndows XP, Vista, 7 and 8, and run XWin in multi-window mode: XWin -ac -clipboard -emulate3buttons -lesspointer -multiwindow All four computers show the same symptoms. It's really not necessary write 3 emails about this, and certainly doesn't get you a reply any faster. I can't reproduce this problem. Are you using a 3-button mouse? Does removing -emulate3buttons help? It is a trackball: Logitech Marble Mouse T-BC21. After removing -emulate3buttons Ctrl+Left/Right button produces a menu. Is this a local xterm process, or one on a remote computer you are connecting to? Both, local and remote. Is it only xterm which doesn't respond to mouse buttons or are other programs affected? I didn't go further. A couple of days ago a new version of xorg-server, 1.13.2-1, came out. It still has same problem and it is impossible to return to 1.13.0-1 from setup.exe after installing 1.13.2-1 version. Yes, it is an unfortunate deficiency of setup that only 1 previous version is allowed. If you still have the downloaded package, you should be able to downgrade to 1.13.0-1 using the Install from local directory option in setup. Could you tell me whether I am doing something wrong or it is a bug? Is there a workaround? Where can I find sources of the packages? This sounds like a bug, although I hope someone else would have mentioned it if it was widespread.

Does removing -emulate3buttons help? I'm also seeing a mouse problem. It involves the combination shift-leftbutton-rightbutton (intended to emulate shift-middlebutton) after I've started XWin with -emulate3buttons. I use a 2-button mouse with a scroll wheel that can be pressed to serve as a third button. But I find it hard to press the scroll wheel without turning it, so I prefer to use -emulate3buttons. The shift-left-right combination used to be seen by emacs as shift-middle, but now emacs doesn't seem to see it at all. Moreover, after I press it once, either in emacs or elsewhere, both emacs and xterm stop responding to some other mouse events. To reproduce (without emacs): 1. Start the X server with startxwin -- -emulate3buttons 2. Press shift-left-right in an xterm window, using a mouse of the type I described. 3. Move the mouse over the titlebar of the xterm window. The menu items don't get highlighted, and left-clicking on them has no effect. The problem disappears if I remove the -emulate3buttons option; but that's not a good solution for me since I actually want to emulate 3 buttons.

It seems I introduced a bug in the -emulate3buttons code with some changes in 1.13.1-1, which could cause the emulated middle mouse button click to not be released. I've applied fix to address this, so hopefully this works better now. I've uploaded a snapshot at [1]. Perhaps you could try that and see if it fixes the issue for you?
