Michael Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-162:
------------------------------------------

If mstsc.exe is able to handle this, my guess is that it has low-level access to the actual mouse event, independent of the local OS' left/right mouse settings, and thus simply passes the buttons through to the other side. Web browsers don't have this ability - the mouse events simply contain numeric representations of the buttons pressed. If the OS or the browser wants to switch things around first to honor the local left/right mouse settings, and the remote OS wants to re-interpret things to honor those settings yet again, there's nothing the webapp can do to interfere.

Since the numbers representing the mouse buttons in JavaScript mouse events do seem to be affected by local left/right mouse settings, my advice would be to leave the settings of machines intended for remote access untouched.

If RDP universally behaves this way (which wouldn't be that surprising, given the way it favors remote settings for keyboard layout), the only way to satisfy what you're looking for here would be to provide an RDP connection parameter for Guacamole which swaps mouse buttons, similar to how server keyboard layout must be specified to ensure event translation works properly. You would need to know ahead of time which of your connections are remotely configured for left-side mouse, though.
