Calculator opens every time I do a left click

  • 772

I use Ubuntu Mate 18.04. Every time I do a left-click on my mouse mate-calculator starts up. I did nothing and how can I prevent this ? Here is what happens to me.

I use Compiz if this matters

EDIT: The issue was my mouse which does not work anymore.

    We have had long debugging session. All software components were set correctly.

    So the output of

    gsettings list-recursively | grep mate-calc

    was empty. And

    gsettings get org.mate.SettingsDaemon.plugins.media-keys calculator

    returned 

    'XF86Calculator'

    as expected.

    Resetting mouse settings in MATE did not help:

    gsettings reset-recursively org.mate.peripherals-mouse
gsettings reset-recursively org.mate.SettingsDaemon.plugins.mouse
dconf reset -f /org/mate/desktop/accessibility/

    The Compiz Settings Manager (launched with ccsm command) do not have Button1, Button2 and Button3 mentioned in General → Commands and on Button Bindings tab.

    But xev output was weird, it did not show ButtonPress and ButtonRelease as reaction on press and release of mouse buttons.

    So it was a hardware issue.
