When I'm using Gimp or Inkscape I hold the middle mouse button to pan. But for some reason it's also trying to scroll to the left side of my screen.
I think it's trying to do two things together. I've no idea how to fix this, I'm using Xfce.
What configs should I check? Any idea's?

Think it's more Xfce related... I got the same problem in Xubuntu on my other computer.
Also tried a different mouse, but got the same problem...

Same problem in fluxbox...

Right... seemed to be a hardware issue. Tested it with another (3rd)mouse, and now it moves normal.
Kinda weird, they are all three Logitech mouses. Logitech M500(only 1 week old), some very old Logitech mouse, and a Logitech Mx518(the one that's behaving normally).

There is a possible workaround for this problem. The M500 mouse has six buttons associated to the middle/scrollwhell, but evdev assigned wrong buttons to some of them.
According to evdev manpage, you can mapping button with the "ButtonMapping" option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf. I have done this, deactivating the wrong buttons (and others with an annoying behavior for me), adding the ButtonMapping option to the "evdev pointer catchall" section:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev pointer catchall"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 0 2 8 9 10"I have tested some programs, like Draftsight, Blender, Inkscape, and others, and pan works right with middle/wheel button.
