When enabling 3 finger drag on Mac (Mac Preference -> Accessibility -> Mouse & Trackpad -> Trackpad Options) and 3 finger click on Middle Click, the 3 finger drag stop working. Screen Shot 2019-05-17 at 9 33 08 AM (Tested on MacOS 10.14.5)

I don't even know what that feature does. Could you explain it to me?

as you can see from my comment, follow the steps and the screenshot: Mac Preference -> Accessibility -> Mouse & Trackpad -> Trackpad Options->Enable dragging: three finger drag to enable dragging a window using 3 fingers on the touchpad. It means you can move the pointer to the top of any window and use 3 fingers (no need to click, just tap on the trackpad using 3 fingers and move) to move that window You can also use 3 fingers to select/highlight text, this also breaks with 3 fingers click (MiddleClick) enabled.

Here is a link from Apple that explains about the feature https://support.apple.com/en-ke/HT204609

Mhh I don't have a touchpad at the moment so I am only able to test with the MagicMouse. I see what I can do about that

just to make it clear, trackpad I mean the integrated Trackpad on MacBook Pro, not the Magic TrackPad :)

Since both are using the undocumented Touch Api this shouldn't make a difference
