Describe the issue

If you middle click on an ipympl canvas the event will be reported with mousebutton.RIGHT instead of MIDDLE.

import ipywidgets as widget
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib widget

out = widgets.Output()
@out.capture()
def callback(event):
    print(event.button)
    
plt.ioff(); fig,ax = plt.subplots(); plt.ion()
fig.canvas.mpl_connect('button_press_event', callback)
fs = 15
ax.text(0.1,0.1,'left click here', fontsize=fs)
ax.text(0.5,0.5,'middle click here', fontsize=fs)
ax.text(0.7,0.8,'right click here', fontsize=fs)
widgets.HBox([out,fig.canvas])

In the notebook:
