Title: Middle mouse button Acting Wierd (tm)
Help!
At some point in the past, normal X11 copy-paste behavior worked
fine for me. But no longer...
After I try to paste some selected text, my mouse buttons no
longer work correctly (and nothing gets pasted). For example, the left
mouse button can no longer be used to move the window around by
click-dragging in the title bar; sometimes other X11 windows get
"chased around" by mouse movements; can't activate an of the
normal three "bubble buttons" in the upper left-hand corner
of the title bar; occasionally, sometime later some selected text will
be pasted into an X11 window, etc. Occasionally, after a series of
poking around with the various buttons, "normal" mouse
behavior will return (but still no copy/paste).
Also am getting similarly odd behavior when using the middle
mouse button to scroll in plain old xterm - the scroll feature seems
to get stuck "on".
Mouse is a 3-button Macally optical scrollwheel mouse, no mouse
software installed, no "emulate 3-button mouse" in
preferences. Up-to-date Mac OS X 10.3.8...pretty vanilla,
actually.
The last time I can remember this working correctly was in
Jaguar... :-(
I saw a suspiciously similar-sounding (2003) thread in the
archives involving these folks: Steve Lidie
Cheryl Huntington, and
David Mackler, but the thread seemed to have spun out with no
solutions offered...anyone found out anything since then?
Any help would be *greatly* appreciated...
- Philip
