Guys, The problem is that i own HP zbook 15 g6 in that laptop it has a total of 6 button's. left button for left click, right for right click and middle button for middle mouse button it is same for the bottom button's. The issue is when i installed ubuntu 25.04 the button's didn't remap or somemthing then i installed mint which was "usable" but issue persisted. The trackpad gestures worked no problemo but the issue arises whenever i clicked my mid button , it just start bugging out i can't left or right click something, i can move the cursor but it's only stuck in prvious window i have to alt + tab whenever i want to use the machine. i have tried chat gpt and perplexity but to no luck, i browsed to reddit to find a solution to my problem to no avail. i been stuck for entire 2 weeks i am currently posting this from my win 11 drive. i want to learn linux but this is really fustrating PLEASE HELP
