New right click on trackpad in Sequoia drives me nuts. Am I the only one?

I tried it in World of Warcraft (Retail 11.1) and it is working just fine.
so I know people said they tried it and it seems fixed in Sequoia 15.4 beta 2, but I'm looking at the release notes and don't see anything. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-15_4-release-notes
is there any formal documentation that this bug has been fixed?

I think most of such bug fixes are not documented. In my years with macOS and iOS Apple was never really pushing their documentation to document every fix / change they made. I think mostly to secure the system and do not make possible weaknesses public. Also, to maybe not publicly state that such an issue existed in the first place (especially when they stop giving a version to a specific hardware-generation, this could lead to a backlash when customers would have it written on paper that their device has issues).
This is all speculation from my side.
Just a quick info:
macOS 15.4 has a new beta version which is the release candidate. The issue is still fixed. I guess next week will be the public release.

macOS 15.4 is here. Make sure to update. This is the fix we have been waiting for and the issue is finally resolved (This is not an April's fools joke).
i'm noticing that maybe 1 in every 100 clicks or so, the issue still persists. as in, maybe 1% of the time, when i hold right click and move my mouse (to move the camera), the camera does not drag (meaning the right click is not "holding" while moving the cursor).
is anyone else noticing this?

@TehBrian Can you share the website that interpreted the mouse events? I am on macOS 15.5 (MacBook Pro 13", M4 Pro) and atleast in WoW, which was the main point of conflict of this issue for me, I do not see the issue again. However, in gaming apps the issue was mainly the mouse interpretation when holding and dragging the mouse for a long time, not constantly causing clicks.
I want to try to replicate the issue using your browser page.

It appears to be just the first link google comes up with when you search ‘mouse test’ but even in his video he shows it simply as a means of demonstrating the issue is system side. I also tried this and received similar results. (MBP 14” M3, 15.5 as well)
I will say I felt like the first day I upgraded I didn’t notice a major difference in the way it was already behaving so I just continued to use my solution because I know it works.
Mythics9 was correct; I simply clicked the first link after searching "mouse test". Here's the link: https://www.onlinemictest.com/mouse-test/
Please do update us with what you find!
