            Bug ID: 94856
           Summary: button scrolling for pointing stick cannot be used
                    with middle button emulation
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: libinput
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ailin.nemui at gmail.com

My Toshiba laptop comes with a two-button pointing stick (AlpsPS/2 ALPS
DualPoint Stick). I am frequently using "middle" button paste shortcut and also
like the scrolling emulation that is possible by holding down the middle button
and moving the pointing stick. Unfortunately, the Button Scrolling Button does
not work with the emulated middle button.

Conversely, if the scroll-emulation is configured on the right button, then the
middle mouse emulation also does not work. Furthermore, it is not possible to
right-click drag (resizing windows, context-menus in git, etc.)

I had previously discussed this in Bug#39174 for evdev.

It would be nice if the emulated middle button could trigger both middle button
and the button scrolling.
