Ubuntu – Wheel scrolling does not work anymore

mouse

I did an apt-get update and upgrade today and now the middle wheel on my mouse doesn't scroll in any program. I've tried finding documentation to get it to work again but to no avail. I even tried using gpointing-device-settings and that did not do the trick. I used xev to determine if the wheel is even being registered as a button and it's button 2. I was able to scroll internet browsers and in other programs, but now I get nothing.

I can open links by clicking the wheel button and I can paste, but no scroll function. I am using a Logitech G620 and up until today the mouse has worked fine.

How to solve this?

I had to unplug the Unifying Receiver and plug it back in :)
