    I never had this problem - for decades. Neither with mouses nor with
the touchpad of my laptop, on which I need to click both buttons to
emulate the central one. I'd suggest buying a new mouse.

    Cut-and-paste problems exist though. Cuting in a text processor like
libreoffice records some markup. When I don't want it, I first paste
into an xterm or into Emacs, and then cut again. Simple mouse-cut does
not paste into (eg) Scribus; you need to cut the text from some
application which handles Ctrl-C,or a menu-cut eg a web browser.
