--- Comment #3 from Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer at who-t.net> ---
What you're seeing is the effect of button scrolling:
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/scrolling.html#button_scrolling

That's enabled on some devices, most notably trackpoints. And it's going to
stay that way, sorry. It's very uncommon to have to middle button+pan but it's
very common to have to scroll up/down.

Note that there is *no* correct default, we simply have to chose which use-case
doesn't work out of the box. And wWe're erring on the side of the more common
use-case here. This is a default only, so it can be disabled.
