Bug#700475: [neverball] Primary click does not immediately start level with a left-handed mouse

[Filipus Klutiero]

Package: neverball
Version: 1.5.4-5
Severity: minor

When a level is launched, the player doesn't control the ball 
immediately. A woman says "Ready...set...Go!" then the level actually 
starts. Both the sound and the animation are really cool, however, the 
time taken by the sequence becomes more annoying than anything for veterans.

This is presumably why developers added the possibility to skip the 
sequence by clicking the primary (left) mouse button. This must have 
worked for me for as long as I used my mouse with my right hand. 
However, I just realized that this doesn't work anymore now that I hold 
my mouse with my left hand. In fact, it works, but I have to use the 
secondary button, that is... the left button. In other words, the button 
to expedite level start is constant, regardless of mouse handedness.

It's quite possible I took that many years to realize the bug due to 
distraction from #611514. In my setup, the fastest way to retry a level 
is currently to place the mouse on "Retry Level", to click 3 times with 
the primary button then to click once with the secondary button :-/

This is most likely an upstream bug.
