I already know that. It's not the same. I just commented just in case it helps
anyone looking. And, another reason is that when I enable this, it behaves the
same in all apps. So, if the developers add Autoscroll feature directly to
mouse settings itself like a radio button style to toggle MiddleClick+Drag to
scroll or Middle-Click to enable Autoscroll function, it would be beneficial
across all other apps rather than just for okular alone.. Its just an idea,
what do you think?
