KDE interferes with mouse buttons: uses same mapping for second and third button, if second is mapped higher

[Daniel Hahler]

Binary package hint: kdebase

Using this:
  xinput set-button-map "Kingsis Peripherals Evoluent VerticalMouse 3" 1 9 2 4 5 6 7 3 8

will result in the behavior of:
  xinput set-button-map "Kingsis Peripherals Evoluent VerticalMouse 3" 1 9 9 4 5 6 7 3 8

This means, that if the second button is mapped to 9, the third button triggers button 9, too.

This is not visible with xinput get-button-map, but when using xev.

Also, it happens only with KDE, not when starting xterm or Gnome from kdm.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
