Comment 33 for bug 1758306

OK, this is bizarre. For most of the afternoon, I was running in the 14.3 kernel instead of the new because I was doing an online class that required a lot of clicking. I finished the class and then came here to see if there were new messages. So, I ran 'gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.mouse left-handed' in the terminal, and it returned true.

But then I remembered I was still in the old kernel, so I restarted my laptop and booted the new kernel. Now, I've already done this a couple of times today, and nothing has changed with the buttons. But when I booted the new kernel just now, the problem appears to have resolved itself, and my right button is actually primary as I had set it to be.

So, the problem is somehow resolved, but I'm curious as to how booting one kernel and then another seems to have made the difference. I haven't run any updates or anything.

Happy, but curious/confused.
