Description John Miller 2003-11-06 03:29:13 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.93)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.1 
OS:          Linux

I am using a standard ps/2 2-button mouse with 3-button emulation.
The middle mouse button does not work at all in non-kde apps (Blender, GIMP, MPlayer, etc) and works only sporadically in kde apps while khotkeys is running. Killing the khotkeys process restores normal function to the middle mouse button for all apps.

You can configure which mouse button is used, and you can configure the timeout after which the button resumes to work as usually. Isn't that enough?

I used to be able to use the middle mouse button to move icons on the kicker. This no longer works. I believe this is the same issue.

Bug #67167 is possibly a dupe too.

CVS log:
Release the mouse button grab if the none of the windows which
have mouse gestures configured is active. This indeed requires
that all mouse gestures are restricted by conditions to some windows.
Kind of fixes #67376. KHotKeys will still intercept the button
if a window with gestures is active and one will want to use it
with Kicker, but that would require crystall ball(tm) technology.
