> Almost every single user I've shown GNOME to was surprised or bothered by this being the default instead of the usual scrolling you'd see in Windows.

Would be good to see a well designed survey on this.

To me, middle click for pasting is not a power feature, but something I thought most Linux/UNIX users knew. It was one of the first things I learned on a UNIX DE.

Second, who cares what the Windows default behavior is? Why is GNOME changing a mainstay of UNIX to be more like Windows? For the last 15 years, I've used Linux and Windows both - very heavily. I've never used middle click for scrolling. Seems like an eye candy feature and not intended to be useful.

I'm on a MacOS right now, and middle clicking to scroll is absent.
