Doing as suggested corrects the problem:
adding a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-3rdbutton.conf with the following content:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "middle button"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDriver "libinput"
Option "MiddleEmulation" "on"
EndSection
Fixes 3 button emulation and I can copy and paste conveniently again, a lot less
clicking around!
Very good.
First I tried making that change in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf but it did
not work.
2 things to note here.
First, that file is, as noted in the comments contained in the file, for evdev based
systems. The default these days for Fedora is "libinput" not "evdev".
Try not to confuse
the 2.
Second, you should avoid making changes to "system" files in places such as
/usr/share
whatever. These can get overwritten without your knowledge on updates and upgrades and
leave you scratching your head. In this case the file you tried changing is provided by
the package xorg-x11-drv-evdev and should that package get updated or whatever it could
change that file and remove whatever changes you made.
