<pre>Hi,
I have middle-click emulation enabled in Cinnamon (although `sudo libinput
list-devices` says that it is not; is it because it doesn’t show per-user
settings or does Cinnamon use some other mechanism?).
It used to work perfectly, but I recently upgraded libinput from 1.8.3 and
1.9.1, and since then, it often gets “stuck”, meaning that subsequent left
clicks will be considered middle clicks until I right click again to “unstick”
it (or occasionally the other way around, possibly depending on which button I
happen to hit first when emulating the middle click).
After downgrading to 1.8.3 again and rebooting, the issue goes away completely.
I had a look through the recent messages on the mailing list and it looks like
this patch could be the culprit, but I am far from being 100% sure:

Thanks.</pre>
