Package: xbase-clients
Version: 1:7.2.ds2-2
Severity: normal


I tried to swap my mouse buttons with xmodmap -e "pointer 3 2 1"
xmodmap warns that it changes only the first three buttons, and the
mouse is not remapped. However, xmodmap -pp shows the buttons swapped.
Mapping all 12 buttons does not make any difference.

Well, 3 years later, no reply, and I can't reproduce it either. I guess
this bug deserves to be closed ;)

Anyway, if you still experience it, feel free to reopen it.
