After many years of relying on the middle mouse button for pasting text, I recently upgraded one of my machines to openSUSE 10.3 and the middle button no longer works quickly or reliably for any app (not just LyX). I now need to click up to 4 times and wait before it works.
John, Over the years I discovered that the middle button (actually, the two simultaneously for my 2-button trackballs) works as advertised on most console apps (pine and slrn being exceptions), but not with many GUI apps. What does work with these is holding the Shift key while pressing the two rodent or trackball buttons. Don't try to understand, just go with the flow and use the Shift key when needed. :-) Rich -- Richard B.
