This is a different feature for scroll wheel emulation, primarily for devices
that do not have a scroll wheel (like pointing sticks and some trackballs),
though some people also find it useful with the mouse. It scrolls only as
you're moving the pointer. This has been available for a few Plasma releases
now (and was automatically turned on for these devices even before that).

What people here are asking for is something different: Just click the middle
mouse button (without holding it), then move the pointer once, and it will
continue scrolling in that direction even if you're no longer moving the mouse,
at a speed depending on the distance of the pointer to the place you originally
clicked  (until you exit the mode, or move the pointer to its original
location, which stops it from scrolling further). This is a common pattern on
Windows, but very rare behavior on Unix systems, and is currently not generally
available as an option (though some applications in some contexts may implement
it on their own).
