I use middle mouse button to open links in new tabs. After updating today LibreOffice to 5.0.5.2, I could no longer use middle mouse button. It simply did not work. Removing the device, unplugging and replugging the mouse in the same port worked for half an hour. Using Google to search for what could have caused this to happen helped little, most hits giving no answers. Many said it was a software problem, which I too believe it is. After one hour of searching I wanted to just give up. I exited LibreOffice, clicked on a link on YouTube with the middle mouse button, hoping it would work. It did! Started LibreOffice again, stopped working. What LibreOffice 5.0.5.2 does to disable the middle mouse button, or why, I have no idea. I really hope this gets fixed.
Works for me. You could try upgrading to 5.1.1 after it comes out in a moment. Don't install 5.1.0, it is quite broken on Windows..
