I'm also seeing a mouse problem. It involves the combination
shift-leftbutton-rightbutton (intended to emulate shift-middlebutton)
after I've started XWin with -emulate3buttons. I use a 2-button mouse
with a scroll wheel that can be pressed to serve as a third button. But
I find it hard to press the scroll wheel without turning it, so I prefer
to use -emulate3buttons.
The shift-left-right combination used to be seen by emacs as
shift-middle, but now emacs doesn't seem to see it at all. Moreover,
after I press it once, either in emacs or elsewhere, both emacs and
xterm stop responding to some other mouse events.
To reproduce (without emacs):
1. Start the X server with
startxwin -- -emulate3buttons
2. Press shift-left-right in an xterm window, using a mouse of the type
I described.
3. Move the mouse over the titlebar of the xterm window. The menu items
don't get highlighted, and left-clicking on them has no effect.
The problem disappears if I remove the -emulate3buttons option; but
that's not a good solution for me since I actually want to emulate 3
buttons.
