What you’re actually doing is middle clicking, dragging a few pixels and then letting go.
No it’s not that, probably some setting was changed at some point. I don’t know what. Remoted into my computer from my laptop using a different mouse. For some reason my main windows 10 functions the way I said.
I don’t think this is default though. A fresh install of windows on my laptop functions the way you explain. I’m guessing that way is the norm.
So any fix on this?? Any way to get it? I also recently discovered okular and due to my accessibility requirements its perfect so i can view all pdfs in night mode without having to wait an eternity by using xodo. but not having middle click to auto scroll functionality is really bad. You are arguing about whether middle click to paste should be default options or not, I say give the user the choice and everyone will be happy. Bury it in the settings deep if you want but the options should exist!
For folks’ reference, since I hadn’t seen it linked in this topic yet - the relevant feature request that had been filed is: 439610 – Autoscroll using middle click
