Description Gene Garrison 2008-12-06 19:38:36 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I use a KVM switch to select between my home computer running Kubuntu 8.10 and my work laptop running Windows XP.  In both cases my mouse is set for left-handed operation.  When I switch back to Kubuntu the mouse has reverted to right-handed settings.

This did not happen under KDE3 with Kubuntu 8.04, or under Fedora with KDE3.  In those cases the mouse retained its left-handed settings.

Is it still an issue in recent versions (KDE SC 4.8.x or higher) ?

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Dear Bug Submitter,

This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? This bug will be moved back to REPORTED Status for manual review later, which may take a while. If you are able to, please lend us a hand.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

No response; assuming it was fixed since then.
