This is my use case: I’m regularly browsing lists of hyperlinks to follow list items’ content in new browser tabs. So, what I’m often doing is to middle click a hyperlink and immediately push the mouse away so I can continue my work using the keyboard without the mouse pointer being permanently in the way. I’m a quick worker, so this is what happens when I’m either missing to hit a hyperlink or when a web designer decided it would be cute to show a Hand pointer on an element that’s not being a hyperlink: I middle-click an element auto-scroll ist getting enabled I immediately release the middle mouse button this enables scroll-lock mode for auto-scroll I push the mouse away the list item disappears into oblivion See this screencast: Desired situation I want to continue to use auto-scroll for intentionally scrolling through a web page. But I do not want scroll-lock to happen in any way, no matter how short I’m pressing the middle mouse button on a non-hyperlink element. Please, add an additional option for permanently disabling scroll-lock when auto-scroll jumps in, so when the middle mouse button is released, scrolling always stops immediately.
