--- Comment #10 from Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer(a)redhat.com> ---
I'm pretty sure we've had this behaviour since f22 or so, libinput chose this
default very early.
Basically: the use-cases for middle-click + drag are few and far in between and
mostly limited to 3d applications like blender. The use-case of using those
applications with a trackpoint instead of a mouse is even smaller. OTOH, the
use-case of needing scrolling with a trackpoint is a comparatively common one.
This is just a default, we have to pick one and we went with the more common
case. It's one of the cases where we can't make everyone happy which is why we
have a configuration option in libinput, even if it hasn't trickled down into
the GUI configuration programs yet.
I'm closing this bug, Ralf's problem is almost certainly the same and if it's
not he can re-open it :)
