First thanks Steve for leading into and through xinput and the like. The
final answer sadly was buy a mouse, at least for now. I got loaned a very
swishy gaming mouse that had a third button. Who know it was the scroll
wheel (not me obviously). So when that worked I tried the two mice I had.
One worked and one did not, hence one new mouse.
I know from `xev -event button` that button 3 produces the same four events
that a double-click does. One works and the other does not. The setting for
the mouse are:
xinput --list-props 7
Device 'System mouse':

"libinput Middle Emulation Enabled" is the only one that seems relevant.
The middle click works independently of that setting. So something else is
still needed
Finally in all the wandering around the google-verse I came across this:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "middle button emulation class"
MatchIsPointer "on"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
EndSection
So why not ... Makes no difference either but Xorg seems to like it. From
Xorg.0.log:
[34.984] (II) config/udev: Adding input device System mouse (/dev/input/event1)
[34.984] (**) System mouse: Applying InputClass "libinput pointer catchall"
[34.984] (**) System mouse: Applying InputClass "middle button emulation class"
[34.984] (II) Using input driver 'libinput' for 'System mouse'
[34.984] (**) System mouse: always reports core events

[34.985] (**) Option "_source" "server/udev"
[34.985] (II) event1 - System mouse: is tagged by udev as: Mouse
[34.985] (II) event1 - System mouse: device is a pointer

[34.986] (II) event1 - System mouse: is tagged by udev as: Mouse
[34.986] (II) event1 - System mouse: device is a pointer
A working middle "button" was the only thing that workded so far. All the
above was done on 12.2.
