Public bug reported:
Since the latest updates to xorg mouse buttons may report more than one
event for every mouse key press. This leads to various negative effects:
- klicking left mouse button at the title of a window to drag it: since more
than one event delivered the window is roled up instead
- klicking left on a printer to select it: the printer is not only selected,
but printing is initiated, without any possibility to change settings
- klicking right to open a context menu: the menu is opened, then closed,
because multiple events are generated
- klicking right to open a context menu: the menu is opened, then a menu entry
selected and executed without any posibility to select the menu entry. Which
one is selected depends on where the mouse button was on screen, when the menu
is taller than the space between lower edge and mouse cursor.
- scrolling the mouse wheel: sometimes it is impossible to scroll to a defined
possition, because multiple events scroll further than expected
- selecting text leads to various unwanted results:
-- text is selected, then moved arround, because of multiple key down-events
This is with various mice:
- Logitech
- LC-Power
- Microsoft
Tested with more than one mouse from all of the above, to exclude
defective mice. All of them work with Windows as expected. As soon as I
clamt them to my Ubuntu-Box they all show the same behaviour: multiple
events for one klick (doesn't mater which key), multiple events for
scrolling.
