Yes, via:

sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin

This mouse "problem" has been like this on all linux systems I've ever used (various Ubuntu/Kubuntu installs) and different mice.

To be clear, it's fine elsewhere in calibre, such as the list of books, the plug-ins list in preferences (if i make the window small enough). It's just when I double click on a book (.mobi, .azw3) and navigate through it.

Is there some debug option I can enable to see if it's even registering an event or something?



Ah - found it. The "pixel scroll threshold" was 60. I found that setting this to 20 fixes it. Perhaps try the default value on your system and see if you can reproduce it? I'm pretty confident I've never changed this value (it's a reasonably fresh install).
