I have heard about this tipe of mouse.  It's one of old serial mice,
isn't it?

Thank you for the patch.

However, this modification should best be implemented as an option (or
a special kludge for this mouse).

It is perfectly valid the same data packet is sent from the mouse
twice (or three time or more), and there may be some 3-button mice
which stop working if this kludge is invoked for all mice as a
standard feature.
