freeciv: ctrl mouse1 does not work

[sds]

Binary package hint: freeciv-client-gtk

Ubuntu 8.10
freeciv-client-gtk 2.1.5-2
countrol-mouse1 is the same as mouse1 instead of being the same as mouse2

[KarlGoetz (kgoetz)]

Has freeciv previously had ctrl+mouse1 mapped the same as mouse 2?

[sds (sds-gnu)]

yes.
note that now Alt-mouse1 == mouse2, which is hard to detect because by default Alt-mouse1 causes the window manager to move the window (i.e., the application does not see the Alt-mouse events).

Please try with the 2.1.10 packages available here: https://launchpad.net/~kgoetz/+archive/ppa
I'm running 2.1.10 and I'm unable to reproduce this problem.

single Click mouse 1 == nothing
alt click+hold mouse 1 == terrain info
ctrl click mouse 1 == nothing
single click mouse 2 == move primary view on map(s)
alt click+hold mouse 3 (scrollwheel) = terrain info

Its worth noting i have alt+mouse unmapped from its gnome default.
thanks,

1. it is a bad idea to have useful stuff on alt+mouse because it is shadowed by default.

2. ctrl-mouse1 turns the mouse into a circle and the circle is gone on the next click. I have no idea what that means.

Maybe so, but thats a separate issue (A platform specific one at that).

I don't see this behaviour in freeciv 2.1.10 on Debian stable. Could
you try with 2.1.10 please.

this is why it is reported to the ubuntu tracker and not the freeciv tracker.

for this item, sure. I was just noting that it appears to be a
different issue to 2).
