They weren't added by accident! ;-)
I have all 3 OS to hand, and tested this on all 3. As far as I
could tell, buttons 4 & 5 are required for Mac and Windows. Linux
is the odd one out here, unfortunately.
Personally, my Wayland laptop trackpad doesn't show this issue. We
don't have an option to have disabled mappings. If the reports are
more than a one off issue, then the only option is really to
remove all the default mouse button mappings for NB20 and let
people configure them if they want. But it's not very
discoverable, and leaves the original feature request still
unfulfilled.
PS. Also, if you look at this comment you'll notice that Michael and I
had a conversation on the PR about xev values and the JDK numbers
being two lower because of scroll wheel events
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/6434#issuecomment-1715252021
If we are 100% sure that 4&5 (native 6&7) map to horizontal scroll, we
could drop the value down another two in the event handler to bring
all OS in line?
That what I am thinking about! I think that would be safe to do, or
introduce a MOUSE_WHEEL_LEFT and MOUSE_WHEEL_RIGHT for those buttons
and map the rest with two down on Linux.
Best wishes,
Neil
