I am unable to use the middle mouse button in konqueror at all.
This includes pasting in anything, middle click a link to open in new tab, or doing a default search of selected text.

Middle button works fine in konsole and other apps fine.

I am not sure if this issue is KDE or X or evdev/mouse/kbd drivers.
I think this started after an upgrade to the Debian xorg 7.4~5 packages.

Just checking if anyone else has this and if it should be a KDE bug or X?

Thanks.

I stumbled on that if I click both the left and middle button at the same time it acts like middle button.

Xorg must be screwing up my mouse somehow but I am unsure how.

More on this.
I can also hold shift or ctrl or both and middle click and it works.

I don't have to hold any of these keys for middle button to work right in any other app other than Konqueror.

Anyone?

Figured it out.
For some reason konqueror gestures were enabled.
I never enabled them so I never though to look until I stumbled on a post on them and using the middle button.

I had the same problem on Debian Lenny (?), i use xfce with some kde programs. I think the problem began, when i added kdebase-workspace or something related. That activated the konqueror gestures. When i deactivated them in systemsettings-input actions everything was fine again.
