Middle mouse binded to "show desktop"

Hi.

I recently started to use a macbook pro m1, and when I use my external mouse (3rd party) whenever I press the middle mouse button for more than one second or if I press and move the mouse, it automatically show the desktop, as if there is a shortcut added to that specific action. This is very problematic because I use Fusion 360 to design and I can't move the design space because it requires the middle mouse button to do so.

In the keyboard and mouse shortcuts menu I have everything with "-" selected.

Does anyone has the same issue ?

Thanks

Just starting to learn Fusion360 and ran into this exact problem. here's how you fix it.

go to settings>Desktop & Dock

Click on "Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts" and a separate window will open

scroll down to "Show Desktop" and Mouse shortcut is "Mouse Button 3"

select and change to "-".

Done.

Hi.

I still couldn't find the issue. The way I solved it was to return to my old Windows Desktop. Such a shame that I paid 2000 for a laptop and can't have such a basic command like middle mouse button.

I was warned before I buy that it is in fact a bad purchase if you are into CAD stuff, so I guess it's my bad.

It's still weird for me that we can't change this option.

I love almost all the aspects of the laptop, but this is a deal breaker for me unfortunatelly :(
