[Bug 319053] [NEW] Bluetooth Mighty Mouse Left and Right Clicks do not register in 8.10

[RobertGilbert]

Public bug reported:

Operating System: Ubuntu 8.10 32-bit

Installation Type:     Clean Install, Updated to current as of 1/19/09 2000 EDT
Repositories Enabled:     Proposed repository enabled. As well as all of the other default repositories, OpenOffice PPA, Wine and VirtualBox

Bluetooth H/W:     D-Link DBT-120 B4
Bluetooth H/W:     Microsoft Bluetooth desktop USB adapter
Mouse H/W:     Apple Bluetooth Mighty Mouse Model A1197
Mouse H/W:     Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth
Mouse H/W:     Apple Wired Mighty Mouse Model A1152
Mouse H/W:     Logitech V270 Bluetooth Mouse

Issue:
     This issue is with the Bluetooth Mighty Mouse.  The problem is that none of the clicks, 1, 2 or 3 performed physically on the mouse actually translate into viewable events via xev.  Mouse motion is registered, horizontal and vertical scrolling is registered, but the left, right and center mouse clicks are not registered.

Solution:
     None.  Bluetooth Mighty Mouse is unusable.  No click events are registered.

Status:
     Regression from Ubuntu 7.04.  This mouse was being used with horizontal and vertical scrolling via a modification to the xorg.conf file in previous version.  It is understood that Bluetooth handling has changed in 8.10, however Wired Mighty Mouse works with no issues as well as other Bluetooth mice.  It is also understood that dropped connections as well as inability to pair are a issues with 8.10.  This is not the issue being described.

Steps to reproduce:

1.  Install 8.10 clean.
2.  Attach USB Bluetooth dongle ( both dongles attempted produced the same result )
3.  Perform pairing operation through Bluetooth Applet 1.8
4.  Bluetooth Mighty Mouse pairs correctly
5.  Move Bluetooth Mighty Mouse horizontally on flat surface. -> Provides motion to cursor
6.  Attempt to left click ( button 1 ) -> Nothing happens
7.  Repeat with buttons 2 and 3 and receive same result. 

Attempted Fixes:
1.  Multiple Bluetooth mice.
Result:  All mice performed as expected.
2.  Wired Mighty Mouse.
Result:  Mouse performs as expected.
3.  Added entry to xorg.conf as was done in 7.04
Result:  No change in behavior.  -> Mighty Mouse still does not left click.
4.  Multiple computers with different USB Bluetooth dongles.
Result:  No change in behavior.
5.  Modify /etc/default/bluetooth with the following:
BLUETOOTH_ENABLED=1
HIDD_ENABLED=1
HIDD_OPTIONS="--master --server"
Result:  No change in behavior

Steps Not Attempted:
1.  Install old Bluetooth functionality
Reason:  If this is the new Bluetooth model, it should be fixed as those applications are deprecated.
