Using a Thinkpad E16 i was facing issues with the middle-mouse button clicks not being registered even though i have setup my libinput scroll-method to be 2-fingers already. Specifically i could see in wev that the press-event was only send when the button was already being released. Up to now i could only fix this by turning off scrolling completely which was decently annoying.

Configuring middle_click_paste to false seems to do the trick though! I don’t use middle-click pasting since i rarely use a mouse at all so i don’t mind that common-ish Linux desktop feature being gone.

This is how the misc section of my hyprland.conf looks like now:

misc { 
    disable_hyprland_logo = true
    middle_click_paste = false
}
