Mouse settings - the first checkbox is for 'left handed mode'. It is checked
but doesn't work
SUMMARY
Lefty Plasma user here. My mouse can work both wired and wireless. It came with
its own dongle for wireless connection, but I plug it via cable to refill the
battery. When plugged, it's working through the cable as different device.
Here's the lsusb entry for wiereless adapter:
Bus 003 Device 009: ID 258a:002f SINOWEALTH 2.4G Wireless Receiver
and here's the mouse plugged via cable
Bus 003 Device 010: ID 258a:002e SINOWEALTH Wired Gaming Mouse
When connected, the 'Wireless Receiver' is still there, but it's not doing
anything. When I enable 'Left handed mode' it works as usual on the mouse that
was active by the time, but switching the mouse (by plugging or unplugging
cable) sort of disables the setting, even though it's still checked. The only
way to enable left-handed mode is to uncheck it, apply, then check and apply
again. When I do so, it doesn't work anymore when either unplugging or plugging
mouse. The setting is active again when switching back to the mode that I was
setting it for.
It behaves like there was an intention to make it configurable per-device,
which would be sweet (and better than typical single global setting like in
GNOME), but there's no any control of which device it is for, so it should have
some drop-down like in touchpad or gamepad sections.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Find two USB mice
2. Connect one, set left handed-mode
3. Mouse buttons are now swapped
4. Disconnect it and connect another one
5. Mouse buttons are not swapped despite the setting being enabled
6. Uncheck it, apply, check it again and apply. Buttons are swapped again
7. Disconnect it and connect previous mouse
8. Go to 5.
OBSERVED RESULT
Left-handed mode setting is not persistent across devices and there is no
option to set them separately.
EXPECTED RESULT
Left-handed mode should be persistent across devices or there should be option
to set them separately.
