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.
Thanks for the reproduction steps.
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?
That fixes it. Thanks.
