--- Comment #1 from Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer at who-t.net> ---
Can you post an example evemu-record of a sequence that's gone wrong? Like how
many inadvertant clicks do you use usually get? Do you get the clicks
before/after the wheel triggers the actual button?

This is a tricky one for libinput because we don't have any user feedback and
making this configurable is a bit pointless. Having it as a hw-specific quirk
is easy enough but it will prevent wheel scrolling with the middle button down.
Which means we'll likely need some extra heuristics like a threshold when we
start scrolling. That again is hard to discover and likely to upset people.
