Button5 cannot be assigned to G5

[adrfantini]

I have a very weird behaviour here. After having modified many buttons to suit my needs, I have the following problem.

I cannot assign many software mouse Buttons to many hardware buttons. Assigning keys seems to always work tho.

Say I am in this situation:

Now let's try to modify it with:

Nothing! Let's try assigning keys instead:

sudo ratslap --modify F3 --G4 LeftAlt+K

Works...

In short, I can seem to bind mouse Buttons anymore!
However, some, like sudo ratslap --modify F3 --G7 Button9 work, while others, like sudo ratslap --modify F3 --G7 Button5 do not.

@adrfantini Unfortunately this is due to a limitation in the hardware. Not only can you not assign the scroll wheel to anything, you also can't assign buttons to the scroll wheel. In mice, the scroll wheel actually generates mouse button's 4 and 5 - hence why you can't assign G4 to either of these buttons.

It is indeed a bug however that this is not reported to the user.
