Lenovo T430S - Fedora 20/21 - Left Mouse button on laptop gives context menu


Hello Everyone,

About 6 months ago, my laptop began having this issue, and I've been unable to find a solution. It is driving me freaking nuts. It only affects the primary left-click button on the laptop itself. Plug in an external mouse and the issue goes away.

I had Lenovo replace the trackpad about 3 months ago, and the issue didn't resolve itself. I've upgraded or updated everything I can think to update. The problem remains with me through the update to Fedora 21, as well.

I came across all of the various settings for changing the trackpad behavior, but the wiki page for it doesn't really seem to cover all of the options or even explain their purposes (IOW: I would not be competent adjusting the settings without some assistance).

I'm pretty much at my wit's end. I can't find an OS setting that would do this, so I don't think it's something I've accidentally 'set'.

Any ideas?

I ran across this post: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T5...M/td-p/1458825

After posting the above. When I came across the following:

"EDIT7: It appears I had an AutoHotkey script tampering with the Menu Key. I deleted it and now everything is working as intended..."

I decided to remove autokey-gnome, since IMO, it doesn't work very well, anyways. I'll update this if it changes anything.

It's at least as awful as before, so that wasn't it.

Any ideas?
