You don't think it generates mouse button 6 and 7? If that is set up as back/forwards it could have the described symptoms. In my prefs->advanced->shortcuts, in the "mouse setup" I find that Button7 is indeed "forward" and Button6 is "back". eirik -- Opera-Linux: https://list.opera.com/mailman/listinfo/opera-linux More lists: https://list.opera.com/mailman/listinfo/ Unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
