Mouse in 2.20.3 started acting weirdHi, After newest lenny update GNOME mouse behaviour changed in a very annoying way. One-click on any of the icons on the gnome bar changes mouse pointer into dragging mode, and i can't execute double clicks at all. None of the menus in any window/main menu bar will remain open after it is clicked on (now you need to hold left mouse button constntly if you want the menu to be continuously open). I have checked my mouse settings and they did not change. I don't know if this is buggy behaviour or some new default settings mode that i don't know how to change. Bookmark/Search this post with:

Hi, you can change mouse click behavior in Nautilus edit > preferences > behavior, those settings are applied system-wide. If the mouse still behave strangely then maybe it a bug, or just compatibility problem with some of your settings.
Re: Mouse in 2.20.3 started acting weird
Thanks, but now i have figured that my touchpad is working correctly. It is my bluetooth mouse which got insane. I have checked the settings in xorg.conf too and they do not look different. What could that be?
Re: Mouse in 2.20.3 started acting weird
I've got the same thing here after an update & dist-upgrade 'ing with apt. I'm on a lenny sid combo, using IceWm on a TZ Vaio. I'm enjoying linux going wrong for once - it reminds me what windows used to be like! :))
My keyboard shortcuts still work though!
Re: Mouse in 2.20.3 started acting weird
Maybe showing the relevant part of your xorg.conf could help. There have been a few changes in the last xorg version, identification of the input devices in particular.
Re: Mouse in 2.20.3 started acting weird
Sure, here it goes:
BEGIN PASTE:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Bluetooth Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "3"
Option "Name" "AutoDetected"
Option "Vendor" "AutoDetected"
EndSection
END PASTE;
Could it be that /dev/input/mice sections are "overconfigured" with these two entries for the same driver? Actually, I don't remember having so many mice in config.
