    Isn’t it just a setting to disable it?

    I really like it, and hate when I need ctrl c or right click for context menu. Especially when in some cases depending on where you right click the highlighting changes and you need to reselect the text.

        If you don’t know the answer to the question, than the first statement isn’t a fact.

        I guess in the current wave of users abandoning windows, its a new feature that is unexpected, and could cause issues for them.

        Maybe when I started playing in linux in the late 90s it was a wierd feature to me. Although, I’m not even sure I had a middle mouse wheel then. But it very quickly became second nature, once I discovered it and I hated when I had to use a windows machine and lost access to it.

        Turning off every useful feature that linux has over windows, and making them all opt-in just to make it more windows like seems like a backwards step.
