[SOLVED] Mouse double click button stopped working

7thSon · 2017-11-02 17:29:27

I have a Mionix Castor mouse and have set one of the two thumb buttons to do a double click.
This is done in the windows software utility, and it stores the macro in the mouse as far as I know.

The button macro has worked until now, but today it stopped double clicking and instead behaves like the regular left click button.
I looked in xev at this, and indeed it only registers one click from the thumb button, just like the left click button, and both the thumb and left click buttons are shown as "Button 1", which seems normal as the button macro from the mouse should send two left clicks in sequence.

So what could have happened with my mouse on Arch, the double click buttons still works like it always has in Windows?

What has changed between the button working, and it not working? Package updates (which packages?), config changes (what changes?), etc.. Does reverting those changes bring back the old behaviour?

I've done no config changes. How can I check which packages have been updated in the past 24 or 48 hours?

Check your pacman.log.

Here is my pacman log from the past two days. Unfortunately I don't really know which packages have anything to do with mouse input and such.

Maybe it lost the macro? Did you check the button/doubleclick behavior on any other system (windows, live linux)?

[2017-11-02 15:07] [ALPM] upgraded libinput (1.8.3-1 -> 1.9.1-1)

You can also try downgrading libinput.

The new version has apparently some keyboard issues with HP laptops, maybe there are some other issues as well?

Edit: Maybe the doubleclick is sent as two very fast single clicks and runs into debounce?

https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/ … 35469.html
Pointer devices now have button debouncing automagically enabled.
Ghost button release/press events due to worn out or bad-quality switches
are transparently discarded and the device should just work.

lol - So HW vendors safe 2¢ by using cheap switches, thus software enforces you (or at least defaults) to click like your granny ... m(

@7thSon
In case you can check "xinput list-props <device>" on whether it's configurable, otherwise use evdev...

I don't think it lost the macro, the mouse works perfectly in Windows.

I downgraded to 1.8.3-1 as you suggested, and lo and behold - the double click works again.

Thanks for this tip as well, I will see if I can work around the debouncing thing by extending the delay between clicks in the macro first though.
This really is, at least from my perspective, a really weird (stupid?) change, now I might have to "cripple" my mouse behavior to make it slower or it won't work properly. They could have left the default settings as they were..

Thanks for all the help guys, I will mark this solved as soon as I try setting a longer delay for the mouse macro and see if it works with the debouncing of libinput.

EDIT:
So I just went into Windows to edit the macro (its a windows only utility). The default delays when creating a mouse click event with double click is like this;

Left button down: 0ms
Left button up: 0ms
Left button down: 0ms
Left button up: 0ms

That is to say, no delay at all. I simply changed this to the delays below, and libinputs' new debouncing magic seems to approve on 1.9.1-1.

Left button down: 0ms
Left button up: 50ms
Left button down: 25ms
Left button up: 50ms

Again - huge thanks for the help

If I read DBOUNCE_TIME correctly, then the fastest you can get away with would be a delay of 12ms between key release and the next key press.

Left button down: 0ms
Left button up: 0ms
Left button down: 12ms
Left button up: 0ms

Edit: Another case of irritating not configurable automagic in libinput. If I ever switch to wayland I'll have to build my own configurable fork
