I've had the scrolling/creeping problem on the windows version, so that isn't unique to the Linux port.

I noticed it too, but played with it for a bit and I think it might be intentional. You can start an automatic scroll by clicking and dragging and then releasing while still moving. Clicking again stops it. Think of it as you would spin a globe with your hand. The more I play with that feature, the more I kind of like it.

just double clicking on a direction control will do it. click again to
stop. it's got to be intentional.

I like this feature too (when I tested the Windows version).
