I haven't been able to find a global setting. Afaik, it's baked into x11? The only way I saw to disable it on forums was totally disabling middle click, which I do not want either

    I was able to disable it on KDE somewhere in settings (would try to find it rn but I'm not home), but that was pre-6.1 so I hope it isn't back. For me it was mainly an issue when trying to pane a view, which depending on the game i played before I'll try to do by holding middle mouse button. Great fun pasting a random image onto the retro miro board on accident...

    Not sure about other DEs, but it seems likely it's possible somehow.
