I could go try it on my 93 Chorus levers too but they'll do the same thing. For the record, the thumb button has to go all the way under the lever body and pretty much to the outside, but it'll do it.
The left thumb button had 7 clicks to operate a triple FD, up to 2014. 2015 and later models have fewer and clicks will not operate a triple FD. You could push the left thumb button through all 7 clicks, but it would be strange to shift from the big ring to the little ring of a triple all at once. Shifting to the middle ring took 3 clicks. I used a triple from 2003-2008. I switched to a compact crank with 11 speed for the 2009 season. I switched to 12 speed last July.
