Updated to Fedora 44, and discovered pretty quickly that middle click is disabled. 🤮

Not a big fan of Jordan Petridis right now. The attitude in his pull request was not awesome. Next I expect GNOME will remove the ability entirely with the excuse that "nobody uses it" since that was also used as part of the excuse for disabling it by default, calling all of us who use it a "nobody" which is kind of disrespectful.

They didn't even add it to settings. The repair is not particularly discoverable.

For everyone else caught by this mess, the incantation is:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-enable-primary-paste true
