I do not lift the first pointer. Sequence:
Put index finger down on touchpad.
Click touchpad down with index to start drag.
Move index around on touchpad.
Realize I don't have enough range. Push down middle, and move middle around
index while index is still on touchpad. When I want to drop, I release middle
and then index.
I notice here that xf86-input-synaptics never emits scrolling events while the
clickpad is pushed down. That could be a solution.</pre>
