Description systemofdown 2012-08-20 16:00:45 UTC 
kde ignores Option "Emulate3Buttons"  "no" from xorg
When the two mouse buttons are pressed this still emulates the middle bottom

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Press left mouse button + right one
Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2012-08-20 22:35:16 UTC 
KDE does have no mouse button emulation code. Please ask in the forum of your distribution which configuration could cause this issue.
Comment 2 systemofdown 2012-08-27 17:59:38 UTC 
mv .kde kde-backup and starting kde with a new user didn't fix the problem, seems it's a built-in kde problem, my xorg.conf:

Also I tried "no" and removing Emulate3Buttons option and still doesn't fix

Gnome-shell and ubuntu unity doesn't enable buttons emulation this only happens with kde.
Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2012-08-27 18:25:27 UTC 
Please do not reopen, unless you point me to the source code line where KDE messes with button emulation.

I checked the sources previously, and there is nothing in KDE that tries to enable, workaround, or disable X11 button emulation, or even implements it itself.

Please check with the providers of your distribution.
