Is there a way to fix scrollbars in Plasma 6 (lemmy.world)

Plasma 6 changed the way scrollbars work for some reason. Now when you click somewhere with mouse1 the elevator jums there and the window content scrolls accordingly.

Previously, it would scroll by one window's worth in the appropriate direction. If you wanted to jump to a given location, you just used mouse2 (typically the scroll wheel button nowadays). It has worked that way everywhere for literally decades.

After reading the very weird explanation for the change, I can only conclude that the devs don't even know how to use their interface.

Hence my question, is there a setting somewhere to switch back to the traditional behaviour?

Interesting. Never really used either of those methods as I would either just drag the scrollbar from it's current position or use the wheel.
OR:

xinput set-prop $deviceId "libinput Scroll Method Enabled" 0, 0, 1
xinput set-prop $deviceId "libinput Button Scrolling Button" 2

Which is no longer doable in Wayland (yeah, I might need to find another Way for Wayland)
