Public bug reported:
I use the following script to swap right-click and middle-click buttons:
# swap middle and right button
MY_MOUSE_ID=$(xinput list | grep "Mouse" | sed -r 's/.*id=([0-9]+).*/\1/')
xinput --set-button-map ${MY_MOUSE_ID} 1 3 2
It can work, but after a while (about 30min-1h), the buttons
automatically swap back so I have to execute the commands again...
I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 (with xinput 1.6.0-1). It's a USB optical mouse.
