Ok, I found the problem
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/58900/how-to-scroll-the-screen-using-the-middle-click/421672

sauron:~$ xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ USB Optical Mouse                       	id=10	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad                	id=14	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech TrackPoint              	id=15	[slave  pointer  (2)]

sauron:~$ xinput list-props 15
Device 'ETPS/2 Elantech TrackPoint':
	Device Enabled (152):	1
	libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled (287):	0
	libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled Default (288):	0
	libinput Scroll Methods Available (289):	0, 0, 1
	libinput Scroll Method Enabled (290):	0, 0, 1
	libinput Scroll Method Enabled Default (291):	0, 0, 1

sauron:~$ xinput set-prop 15 "libinput Scroll Method Enabled" 0, 0, 0

And voilà, now middle mouse window size drag works.
Sigh, this was a stupid and unexpected default that was probably set by
windows and saved in the hardware :(

Well, now that this is fixed, things are much better :)
