FG version 2018:2.2
OS: Kubuntu 18.10
I recently installed Flightgear from the ubuntu repositories. Sadly it is hardly playable for me because I get problems with the mouse. I cannot exactly tell what triggers the problems. Most of the time everything is fine right after starting the simulator, but not always. Then problems start to occur at seemingly random actions. From what I tested it apparently always breaks when changing view (v) or resetting the view with ctrl+z, even if it wasn't changed before. Now here are the actual problems I observe:
- The Tab key doesn't do anything anymore. I'm stuck with the pointer mouse.
Dragging the mouse while right clicking doesn't pan the view but moves the camera up/down/left/right.
The buttons on ingame menu popups only get 'selected' on left click. Clicking a button doesn't invoke its action.
I can still control cockpit panels such as switches.
I never experienced any keyboard/mouse problems in any other applications. I have a German keyboard layout. I only tested with the default Cessna 172 so far and didn't change any mouse/keyboard settings. No joystick is detected in the joystick configuration menu (as it should be).
Any help would be much appreciated!
