Mouse middle button issue (probably libinput)

Hello, guys!

I'm running stable Stretch 64-bit and yesterday I upgraded MATE from 
1.16 to 1.20 (from 
backports):<http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=140901&p=693536#>

    |sudo apt install -t stretch-backports mate-desktop-environment-extras|

I'm experiencing an issue with my mouse buttons. My mouse is Logitech 
M318e (simple gaming mouse with a wheel/button and backward/forward 
buttons on the side).
I wouldn't have noticed that actually but I regularly play 
Openarena/Quake games. Now I simply cannot rocket jump anymore (when 
left+right buttons pressed almost at the same time).

After running the following command I see that now 1) pressing on the 
wheel button and 2) pressing left+right buttons simultaneously are 
handled as the same event - button 
2:<http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=140901&p=693536#>

    |xev | grep ', button'|

left button - button 1
right button - button 3
pressing the middle wheel - button 2
pressing left+right buttons simultaneously - button 2

Fortunately I have Jessie installed on another drive. So I tested it 
there and the result is:

left button - button 1
right button - button 3
pressing the middle wheel - button 2
pressing left+right buttons simultaneously - button 1 and button 3

I'm aware that Debian has switched to libinput 
<https://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad#Change_to_libinput_Xorg_driver_in_Debian_9_.22Stretch.22> 
instead of synaptics, but there's nothing libinput related in the APT 
logs <https://pastebin.com/tHPn5yff> and everything was OK prior to that 
MATE upgrade.

I don't even know what package might have caused this issue in order to 
file a proper bug report.

I'm using now a temporary solution via .xsessionrc:
<http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=140901&p=693536#>

    |xinput --set-prop DEVICE_ID "libinput Middle Emulation Enabled" 0|

Where your DEVICE_ID can be found via xinput.

*P.S.* I've also found something relevant (but old and archived) in the 
Debian Mail Lists 
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/04/msg00409.html> and Bug 
tracker <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=860259>.
