qt-5.5.1: Mouse wheel button mapping is broken
After I upgraded from plasma 5.3.2 to 5.4.2, pasting with middle mouse button does not work anymore.
It used to work just fine with 5.3.2, now it doesn't.
All applications build against the old KDE 4 libraries (like kdevelop, yakuake) still work fine. GTK apps also work fine.
I can select text in any app (gtk, kde4, plasma 5), and paste it in gtk and kde4 apps only.
In plasma apps nothing happens...

Re: qt-5.5.1: Mouse wheel button mapping is broken
And it looks like the issue is not with pasting, but related to my specific mouse configuration.
My mouse buttons are remapped using xinput to switch left wheel tilt with the middle button.
This way instead of pressing the wheel I use left tilt as the middle button click.
It's just easier and I use it a lot.
It has been working great for years, and it still does with everything based on GTK or KDE4.
Xev also reports correct button numbers.
It was working fine in Plasma 5.3.2, but since I upgraded to Plasma 5.4.2 it doesn't.
Plasma 5 apps register left tilt as horizontal scroll left.
No matter what. It ignores remapping with xinput.
Also switching buttons 6 and 7, which should result in reversed horizontal scrolling is ignored.
For Plasma 5, left tilt is left horizontal scroll, and right tilt is right horizontal scroll.
And I haven't found a way to change it...

It's not just you. Except, I cannot middle click into anything to paste. xinput is just not working.
EDIT: Using xev I was able to determine that I had a hardware problem with my Logitech M570. After some cleaning and screaming the issue is now resolved.

Hardware is like a parachute.... works best when open.

Re: qt-5.5.1: Mouse wheel button mapping is broken
I forgot to update this thread.
It looks like it's not a plasma issue, but a bug in Qt: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-49345
