** Package changed: evolution (Ubuntu) => xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu)

Hard to guess for me. I use a laptop with a multitouch trackpad and a bluetooth apple mouse (which is therefore "plugged" after X has started). For information, this is what Xorg says when the mouse connects by Bluetooth: [ 43.751] (II) config/udev: Adding input device apple’s Mouse (/dev/input/event12) [ 43.751] (**) apple’s Mouse: Applying InputClass "evdev pointer catchall" [ 43.751] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'apple’s Mouse' [ 43.751] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so [ 43.751] (**) apple’s Mouse: always reports core events [ 43.751] (**) evdev: apple’s Mouse: Device: "/dev/input/event12" [ 43.751] (--) evdev: apple’s Mouse: Vendor 0x5ac Product 0x30d [ 43.751] (--) evdev: apple’s Mouse: Found 3 mouse buttons [ 43.751] (--) evdev: apple’s Mouse: Found scroll wheel(s) [ 43.751] (--) evdev: apple’s Mouse: Found relative axes [ 43.751] (--) evdev: apple’s Mouse: Found x and y relative axes [ 43.751] (--) evdev: apple’s Mouse: Found absolute axes [ 43.751] (--) evdev: apple’s Mouse: Found absolute multitouch axes [ 43.751] (II) evdev: apple’s Mouse: Configuring as mouse [ 43.751] (II) evdev: apple’s Mouse: Adding scrollwheel support [ 43.751] (**) evdev: apple’s Mouse: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 [ 43.751] (**) evdev: apple’s Mouse: EmulateWheelButton: 4, EmulateWheelInertia: 10, EmulateWheelTimeout: 200 [ 43.751] (**) Option "config_info" "udev:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-1/1-1.1/1-1.1.3/1-1.1.3:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:11/input15/event12" [ 43.751] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "apple’s Mouse" (type: MOUSE, id 13) [ 43.751] (II) evdev: apple’s Mouse: initialized for relative axes.

To make things clearer... - if I issue a xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5" then the wheel events are working as expected with both the trackpad and the mouse, under all software (including evolution). - If I issue a xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 5 4" then the wheel events are inverted, as expected, with both the trackpad and the mouse on all software... but not on evolution. There, the trackpad generated events are inverted as expected but the mouse generated events are not. The situation is even more puzzling: In the left (mailboxes) windows and in the upper right (mail header lines) windows, the trackpad is inverted but not the external mouse. In the bottom right window (current mail), the trackpad works fine (inverted) but the mouse wheel generates no true movement: the lines just go up and down rapidly so the window "shivers" but does not move overall. It looks like it gets a pair of events, one up and own down at each event. To conclude this test, I borrowed a USB mouse and plugged it in. This generated the following Xorg log: [ 4009.282] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Logitech USB Optical Mouse (/dev/input/event13) [ 4009.282] (**) Logitech USB Optical Mouse: Applying InputClass "evdev pointer catchall" [ 4009.282] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'Logitech USB Optical Mouse' [ 4009.282] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so [ 4009.282] (**) Logitech USB Optical Mouse: always reports core events [ 4009.282] (**) evdev: Logitech USB Optical Mouse: Device: "/dev/input/event13" [ 4009.282] (--) evdev: Logitech USB Optical Mouse: Vendor 0x46d Product 0xc06a [ 4009.283] (--) evdev: Logitech USB Optical Mouse: Found 3 mouse buttons [ 4009.283] (--) evdev: Logitech USB Optical Mouse: Found scroll wheel(s) [ 4009.283] (--) evdev: Logitech USB Optical Mouse: Found relative axes [ 4009.283] (--) evdev: Logitech USB Optical Mouse: Found x and y relative axes [ 4009.283] (II) evdev: Logitech USB Optical Mouse: Configuring as mouse [ 4009.283] (II) evdev: Logitech USB Optical Mouse: Adding scrollwheel support [ 4009.283] (**) evdev: Logitech USB Optical Mouse: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 [ 4009.283] (**) evdev: Logitech USB Optical Mouse: EmulateWheelButton: 4, EmulateWheelInertia: 10, EmulateWheelTimeout: 200 [ 4009.283] (**) Option "config_info" "udev:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3:1.0/input/input16/event13" [ 4009.283] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Logitech USB Optical Mouse" (type: MOUSE, id 14) [ 4009.283] (II) evdev: Logitech USB Optical Mouse: initialized for relative axes.

Instead, the same behavior is observed, as with the apple's mouse. I tested other software: xev, firefox, chromium, emacs, libreoffice, synaptic, gimp, gedit. For all these software, everything works perfectly fine. I therefore suspects that evolution tracks mouse events with an unusual method and leads to these bugs.
