Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
(Please note this refers to an actual USB mouse on a Desktop system,
_not_ a Touchpad)
What happens:
Clicking the the right button of my mouse shows the context menu but then
sometimes also acts as a left click.
Steps to reproduce:
- open a web page move the mouse pointer over a link
- click the right button (keep clicking the right button if the bug doesn't
manifest immediately)
- at a certain (random) point, the link is followed as if a left click was
issued
The bug is erratic but always reproducible (it is not always the _first_
right-click to be misinterpreted as a left one, but after a few tries it
always does).
What Should happen:
A right click should never be interpreted as a left one. This is a very basic
UI interaction.
Extra information:
Tried different USB mice, it is not a hardware error.
Possibly related: the context menu sometimes appears very far from the actual
position of the mouse cursor.
What I tried:
I tried disabling mouse click emulation via gnome-tweaks (see attachment).
Nothing changed.
