Bug#1058758: Still not fixed for ThinkPad Compact USB Keyboard with TrackPoint (not II)
Dear developers,
Unfortunately, after upgrading kernel to 6.6.8 on my Sid desktop (at
home), I still witness the bug (middle click performed when releasing
middle button after wheel emulation) with my ThinkPad Compact USB
Keyboard with TrackPoint (old model, not II).
Those spurious clicks are very annoying, since they can open links in
new tabs when scrolling in Firefox, or pasting text when scrolling in
terminals, or other unwanted stuff.
A also have this problem at work, on a Bookworm desktop.
Why did those recent patches ([1], [2], [3] oldest is two months old)
end up in a stable release's kernel ? They clearly cause a very annoying
regression, on a fairly high number of installations (statistically, old
ThinkPad Compact USB Keyboard is probably much more widespread than the
recent ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II).

Would it be possible to revert them at least in Bookworm's kernel, until
they're stabilized and working for all ThinkPad keyboards ?
