Touchscreen can't be used to scroll anymore. Instead it will select everything on its way.

Bug Description
Ever since I upgrade to 20.10 from 20.04, I have been experiencing this issue.
There are times when a user might want to scroll their screen by touching their screen. But I can't do this anymore.
I want to know what went wrong? What can I do?
Any info is appreciated.
Note:
Currently, I can scroll without in issue in Nautilus. But I can't do the same in Firefox, Tor browser, Libre Office, etc. Except Nautilus, all apps select words on screen whenever I touch my screen to scroll.
But we all know, SCROLL ≠ SELECT.

I am running LO 4.3.3 (tried upgrading from 4.2.2) on Windows 8 on a Thinkpad Helix.
For almost every program on Windows, trying to pan using the touchscreen scrolls. This is a very useful behavior.
However, on the LO applications (and Apache OOO as well), it acts like a traditional mouse drag, simply changing the selection.
