Nate, apparently what they mention is not on the list.

The best method to check is to enable autoscrolling in Firefox to check what
they mean, it's shown in the provided link:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/58900/how-to-scroll-the-screen-using-the-middle-click

Here's a video exemplifying this: https://youtu.be/6_8tbkfrHRQ?t=63

I'm not sure if it's trivial, my impression is that it's just a matter of
sending a dbus signal (because it's what I've done before to enable it).
It seems like a valid bug to me though.
I took a look at the KWin debug console and at man libinput, apparently their
names are different.

"libinput Scroll Method Enabled" 0, 0, 1 <-- Button, you press a button to
scroll
Scroll Method Available on Libinput is equivalent to supportsScrollOnButtonDown
on KWin console
Scroll Method Enabled on Libinput is equivalent to ScrollOnButtonDown on KWin
console

"libinput Scroll Method Enabled" 0, 1, 0 <-- Edge, you slide your finger over
the edge of a touchpad
Scroll Method Available on Libinput is equivalent to supportsScrollEdge
Scroll Method Enabled on Libinput is equivalent to scrollEdge

"libinput Scroll Method Enabled" 1, 0, 0 <-- Two-finger, you slide two fingers
on the touchpad
Scroll Method Available on Libinput is equivalent to supportsScrollTwoFinger
Scroll Method Enabled on Libinput is equivalent to scrollTwoFinger

Enabling the button method on common mice means you can click the middle button
and autoscroll, I believe.
I use the same option on a Trackman Marble and it means I can press a side
button and then move the trackball for normal scrolling.
