I have a similar experience, except that I used to be able to double

That hasn't worked for some time. I assumed that it was because of the
decreased support for X because of wayland or that the mouse driver was
rewritten or there was a security issue. The workarounds are clumsy.
The technique still works in the virtual consoles (F1-F6), so something
in the gui handling of mouse clicks has changed.
Are you using Wayland or X for the desktop? In Wayland, I just tested
drag and middle-click in gvim and it worked fine.
If you have mouse support in the virtual consoles, I assume you're
running gpm, which is completely different than mouse support in the
graphical desktop.
