            Bug ID: 503747
           Summary: Janky middle mouse scroll functionality
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Middle mouse scroll has overall a janky functionality which is in some
applications leads to unexpected behaviour. Particularly the slight delay
between the button press and beginning of the scrolling causes a user to
overexaggerate the mouse movement which leads to an uncontrolled amount of
scrolling initially. In most programs the delay makes it feel that the middle
mouse scrolling gets stuck.

SUGGESTION
To maintain the backwards compatible behaviour, add options to adjust the
initial delay and perhaps the scroll speed to System settings 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Check on "Press middle button and move mouse to scroll" under "System
settings" > "Mouse & Touchpad"
2.  Press mouse middle button and scroll

OBSERVED RESULT
Middle mouse scrolling starts after a slight delay which is bothersome in most
applications

EXPECTED RESULT
Scrolling starts smoothly after the button press
