--- Comment #9 from Charles Oliver Nutter <headius at headius.com> ---
I've just moved to a Wayland setup and I have to protest this bug being closed
as WONTFIX.

I have many reasons:

1. The middle click reason is still very much wide enough to accidentally
click, and I find myself doing it constantly.
2. The behaviors range from annoying (Chrome bookmark folders opening ALL TABS
when I just wanted to expand the folder) to destructive (middle-click paste can
wipe out files, documents, text). It's a landmine.
3. I and many others coming from non-Linux platforms will only be frustrated by
this new magic middle button region.
4. The old X11 synaptics driver allowed much better configuration of these
regions, and did not have a middle click region by default.
5. If I did want a middle click region, 15mm is much *smaller* than I might
want. As it is you have this little 1.5cm land mine that's hard to hit on
purpose and easy to hit on accident.

This middle-click region really, really needs to be configurable.
