When you click and hold middle mouse button to scroll the boards panel horizontally, it starts getting scrolling in the opposite direction initially, then goes to somewhat normal, which results in a janky look.

I believe it's because there's also a feature where you can scroll the boards panel by holding left-click.

Also I seem to be unable to scroll the cards inside a board with middle mouse on Chromium (fine in Gecko though).

There are browser addons like "Autoscroll" on chrome. Depending on browser and implementation some of them work very good and some not.

When I was using Windows, I would often scroll through the browser by clicking on the scroll wheel. I think I know what the problem is, but it's hard for me to reproduce it because I don't have a mouse and Windows. As soon as I find them, I'll be sure to check it out.

Well but this is definetely a driver and configuration or addon thing. Again: What addons are you using in chrome, what kind of mouse do you use, what's your operating system, how did you configure the function of your middle mouse button/scroll wheel.

Are we talking about edge here? It's badly working in so many regards.

IMPORTANT:
Please note that: "I use Windows 10, I have an average mouse" is utterly useless as a support request. It's like telling your garage that you have an average car that has a problem and want to know why that is. See? Doesn't make sense does it?

So please whenever there's a problem on Github projects, people need to know exactly what you're talking about. From the OS version to related hardware, drivers, browser and so on. Otherwise this costs only time.

What kind of mouse and mouse driver are you using? Windows, Mac or Linux? The middle mouse - if that's what you're using is a very badly implemented thing on windows and depending on your mouse driver has many problems. Generally the mouse driver emulates scrolling by scrollbars. This might or might not work. My razer mouse has a horizontal left/right click scroll function that works very smooth - including some acceleration - which I use regularly. The same function on another office PC with my Logimouse is absolutely unusable and completely erratic.

I'm not an expert, but I doubt this has much to do with drivers.

I use Windows 10, I have an average mouse. All other mice I had have been behaving the same in regards to middle mouse button. It's not "tilt the wheel to scroll", it's "press and hold and move the mice to scroll".

Didn't go into the details of how exactly the fix works, but yep, the drag-scroll only works with left mouse button now.
Thanks!

Should be fixed by 7e2b74627c. I'll do a new release a little later.
