Hello,
I now encounter a problem with my mouse in plan9port.
Every now and then it happens that my left button starts
to behave as the right button. What helps is pressing a
ctrl key on the keyboard: immediately after that things
are ok again for a while.
Has anybody fought with this before? Any solution?
Thanks
Ruda

I now see this happen on several machines... (always
on Slackware)
Hasn't anybody else seen this? Or does anybody
have a clue about what could cause it?
(It only happens in p9p programs [sam, acme], never
in linux ones.)
Thanks

There was a hook to allow you to use 2 button mice with plan9 which used
(as I remember) the shift key to make button 3 bring up the menu normally
used for button 2.
I cannot make this work any more but I have a usb mouse and keyboard,
perhaps it was a feature of the PS2 mouse/keyboard drievr?
Anyway, perhaps your keyboard is the problem, not sending a key-up event
when you release the shift key somtimes?
Just a guess.

Ok, I still haven't passed over the problem. As I see it
on two individual machines with a common system,
I think it might be system related, slackware 14.1. I could
try and upgrade some packages to the current slackware
branch (i.e. substitute probably some X packages) if I
only could guess which part of the system could possibly
be responsible. Is there anybody who could guess?
Thanks

I believe I had this problem on FreeBSD.
I have
setxkbmap -option grp:shifts_toggle,ctrl:nocaps "us,rs(latin)"
in my .xinitrc, and when I press left shift key, left button starts to behave
as right button.
If I run:
setxkbmap -option "" "us,rs(latin)"
setxkbmap -option "grp:menu_toggle,ctrl:nocaps" "us,rs(latin)"
Acme behaves normally.
Check out this bug report (I'm not sure why it was marked "Invalid"):

Bojan
