Research direction

Reproduce the issue on a Samsung Z Fold5 in DeX mode using the W3C mouse-event viewer, then compare the reported right- and middle-click signals with normal mode. The payload names no source file, test, or log output; done means those buttons are forwarded correctly in DeX and the affected applications respond as expected.

Describe the bug

When using hardware mouse with Samsung phone in DeX mode, the right click and middle click signals are not accurately sent (??) to sunshine. Some applications just cannot pick up user's middle click and right click. More specifically see below steps to reproduce.

This does not happen to the same phone in the normal, non-DeX mode.

Steps to reproduce

Test a Samsung phone with this website:
https://w3c.github.io/uievents/tools/mouse-event-viewer.html

This is in DeX mode (abnormal):

This is in normal, non-DeX mode:

This difference will causes applications below not able to respond to user mouse action correctly.

Affected games

Many applications. E.g.:

Chromium cannot close tab using middle click
FreeCAD cannot use middle click to navigate
Onlyoffice (flatpak) cannot use right click to show menu
