Thanks, Samuel. I forgot to mention I am using XFCE.
Ok, then I think since XFCE isn't using Wayland yet, you could run "xev"
and see if the middle click event shows up. But other than that, I
don't know anything about XFCE mouse configuration.
Another way to test which is probably even easier is to install
"evtest". When you run it (as root) without any parameters, it will
give you a list of input devices and you can pick your mouse and it will
show you the events as they happen.
