--- Comment #7 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Well as it is we already set options for LO use of the middle mouse button (so
affecting true 3-button mouse, or m-scrollwheel, or multi-point touchpad) [1]. 

Look at Tools -> Options -> View in the Mouse section we have the 'Middle
button' listbox. It assigns 'no function', 'automatic scrolling', or 'paste
clipboard' actions.

We'd just looked at behaviors in bug 142285 for ScrollBar::MouseButtonDown, and
there is bug 97336 for how the middlebutton option gets applied on change.

On Windows builds default is 'automatic scrolling'.  While this applies in
Writer (though awkwardly as it is the scroll action) it has no effect in Draw
or Impress.

Would think the default 'automatic scrolling' setting could be used for sd
modules to provide a drag style Pan by default.  Folks wanting the paste
clipbord for middlebutton can set that.

In any case an always available drag based Pan of canvas would be a useful
enhancement to supplement the current Zoom & Pan stateful mode.
