Hi, guys!
I am using Linux Mint 18.3 KDE for more than month on my desktop and a week on laptop, and I am almost fully satisfied.
I faced some problems on laptop (Dell XPS 15 9550).
I see no way to disable Paste on MMB click. I have seen a topic in forum, but I see no answer.
It is really useful feature, but on my laptop I use libinput-gextures (multi-touch gestures for linux), and 3-point gestures (I used them to switch desktop) are also recognized as paste.
For example, I am looking some info in browser, then I switch to desktop with Qt and my copy buffer pastes some mess in my code.
Reviewing forums, I noticed, that it is a feature of X11, and it is impossible to turn it of, using config, it is hardcoded.
So:
Can somebody fix it?
How to fix it in X11 code?

Re: Paste on MMB using multi-touch gestures
This has nothing to do with KDE. The X standard states that the middle mouse button executes a paste action, so this action applies to all OSen using X.

I think that the best you can do is try to remap the button. See the section titled "Example: Disabling middle-mouse button paste on a scrollwheel mouse".

Re: Paste on MMB using multi-touch gestures
Thank you, but the way, they go (remapping MMB) we disable MMB at all. For example, we can't open new tab in browser by MMB.

You're going to have to convince the Xorg and/od KDE devs it's a bug at all. Good luck.
