Yeah I’ve got it disabled in Firefox. And now that I’m looking into it more I’m seeing an option in VSCode, which is the other main place I keep pasting when trying to scroll.

But this “feature” is enabled globally across XServer and is so deeply engrained that there is no global off switch. I must find workarounds for every application in order to make my middle mouse click function as I would expect.

For an OS where everything else is so customizable this baffles me.

I so frequently encounter problems where I proofread something (or my compiler finds it for me) and I find weird words or sentence fragments that I inserted on accident while navigating a document.
