--- Comment #1 from Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer at who-t.net> ---
tested on a T450 and a T440 and it's pretty much the same effect on both. In
most cases this isn't a libinput bug (all cases?) but the type of interaction
we do with the middle button.

Primarily it's used for paste which is a single click immediately after putting
the fingers down. It's very common to trigger the click before the sensor
detected the second finger, resulting in a left or right click only. I don't
think we can meaningfully put delays in without making actual button clicks
sluggish, so I think that changing the software button code to include an
actual middle button area is the only/best solution.
