Hi!

The 1.11 upstream release changed the default value for the touchpad
drag_lock setting from disabled to enabled_sticky based on a
misunderstanding from the libinput release notes, but this was
intended as a better option when enabling the drag_lock support.

The consequence is that the behavior feels very confusing and like
something is broken (that was my first reaction, until I realized this
was an intended behavior change).

The setting has been reverted to its previous default upstream [U],
but there does not seem to be any release including that change, so I
think it would be nice to cherry-pick that to avoid further user
confusion?

Personally I've restored the previous behavior for now with:

,---
input type:touchpad {
        […]
        drag_lock disabled
}
`---

Thanks,
Guillem
