Lubuntu 19.10: Set mouse to left handed - defaults to right handed after a reset

[bbri]

I have been using the mouse left handed on Lubuntu 19.04 with no issues.

Upgraded from Lubuntu 19.04 to 19.10.

Used Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse menu to set the mouse to left handed. Works as expected.

Shutdown laptop (Dell E6400), restart. Mouse has defaulted to right handed.

Go into Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse menu. The left handed checkbox is ticked despite the behaviour being right handed.

Untick then re-tick the left handed checkbox. Mouse now works left handed.

Shutdown and restart again. Same problem.

I would ask that someone attempt to
   > lxqt-sudo lxqt-config
and make the change and see if the needed configuation change does indeed remain.
