Synergy-core: Mouse buttons 4 and 5 broken (Ubuntu client, Windows server)

[klemm89]

On my client PC the mouse buttons 4 and 5 do not work unless you hold the shift key, but they are flipped so back is forward and forward is back. I just discovered that the mouse buttons even worked at all with the shift modifier.

Versions and operating systems:

Synergy : 1.6.2 Premium
Server : Windows 7 64bits SP1 - Custom Desktop
Input: Code Keyboard and Thermaltake Level 10 M Mouse
Client : Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS 64bits - Laptop 2014 Macbook Pro Retina 13"

I noticed that i'm having a very similar issue with an ubuntu server and a windows client. Except for my 4/5 don't work at all and my side scroll wheel turns into 4/5 buttons. i have a feeling it's related.

On my Ubuntu server/Windows client, with a Dell 5 button bluetooth mouse, I had to add the following to the server's section: options

    mousebutton(6) = mousebutton(4)
    mousebutton(7) = mousebutton(5)

I hope this helps.

With a Windows server/Fedora client I have a similar issue, my forward-back buttons work as side-scroll.

I had to add the opposite mapping to @dbergamini to my options to make it work correctly. I.e.

    mousebutton(4) = mousebutton(6)
    mousebutton(5) = mousebutton(7)

I am also having this issue between my ubuntu server and windows client. I can't locate the config file to make the appropriate changes.

I am trying to map my forward/backward buttons with a Ubuntu server and a osx client.

The config file i see doesn't follow the same format mentioned here. It is called an internal config file.

Is it possible to map mouse buttons in the internal config? Can i use both an external and an internal config?

Same, G400s, side buttons don't work on OS X Client, FreeBSD server :(

Unfortunately this is not perfect. If you press a key before the mouse button and then press the side buttons, they will not register.

e.g, if you hold shift and also press the side butons, they will not register/stick.

For example: If you are in windows explorer and hold shift and also press the side buttons, it won't register. It only occurs on modifier keys like shift and ctrl. I don't know how to disable modifier keys. Disabling them in the screen section for both server and client does not work.
