Mouse settings not reapplied after reconnect or resume

[Ivo Wever]

I upgraded from 18.04 to 20.04 and notice that my mouse settings (I mouse lefthanded) are no longer restored/reapplied when I reconnect its usb receiver (gets disconnected due to use of KVM switch) or when resuming (after suspend). I now have to reselect the right button as my primary every time.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same issue here, except I noticed the problem because my mouse speed was getting reset after every reboot and most times I resumed from sleep. The speed displayed on the slider is correct so I usually just have to wiggle the slider to get it to actually apply the correct speed, but the same thing happens if I set the primary button to right instead of left.

Indeed, I forgot to point that out: the settings in the configuration panel stay correct: to switch back to 'Right' as the primary button, I have to first select 'Left', so I can then select 'Right' again. I could probably fix it by hooking some xinput commands into the proper udev event, but since it seems to be a regression, I was hoping someone knowledgeable might realize the underlying issue, and come up with a better fix :)
