Last I heard was that Bastien was actively trying to understand the
problem. I do have a G903 here but it is lacking the feature the
reporters have, and so I can not reproduce (there is likely a new
firmware/model around).

After a quick search on
https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/search#q=G903&s=all it seems that
there are 2 G903: M-R0081 and M-R0068. I only own the 68 one which
explains why I can not reproduce it. :(

Cheers,
Benjamin
