Left click has middle click behaviour

[Silviu Grijincu]

I have Ubuntu Jaunty Alpha 3 on a Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop.
After an update today, when left clicking:
* in a text document some other selected text is pasted
* on a link in firefox opens the link in a new tab
* nautilus opens folders in new tabs too

Selecting text using my touch-pad does not work either due to this.

I don't know what package has the bug though.

I can confirm this bug with a Thinkpad T60, the left click button will sporadically work like a middle click button.

I added this[1] repository for the intel graphics driver and after an update the left click stopped causing problems.

@Silviu
I can understand how that PPA would help as it doesn't seem to have any jaunty packages in it.

[Silviu Grijincu (silviu.grijincu)]

I gave that answer in case anyone was really annoyed about the "middle click behaviour".
I know that is not a real fix of the problem, it's just a work-around until the bug is fixed.

@Silviu - You misunderstand. That PPA has no packages for jaunty. At all. I don't see how it could of helped you.

NB: I still have this issue.
