[Bug]: Sidebar list in agent web ui usable with certain pointer devices like a drawing tablet.

[Callum Gare]

Bug description

I use a Wacom drawing tablet instead of a mouse for accessibly reasons (it helps my RSI). This isn't usually an issue however for some reason Netdata is treating it different to a mouse when it comes to the right-hand sidebar. If I move the cursor over the sidebar (as shown in the video below) it treats it as if I'm on a phone and have attempted to scroll the list by dragging it up and down. This makes it impossible to actually select specific items as the whole list moves when I try to move the cursor to an item. Note I'm defiantly not clicking down or anything, just hovering the pen above the surface in order to move the cursor around like I would normally do. Note this issue doesn't seem to effect the sidebar in the Netdata cloud UI which behaves as expected.

Expected behavior

It should not move the list up and down when using a drawing tablet as a pointing device.

Steps to reproduce

I'm not sure it's possible to reproduce this without a drawing tablet so hopefully someone who might work on this has one.

1. Move cursor over right-hand sidebar in the web UI using a drawing tablet. I'm using a Wacom Intuos CTL-4100WL but I presume it doesn't matter which brand or model is used.

@christophidesp do you have/use something like this to help us reproduce it?

[Panos Christophides]

@novykh no I haven't use something like this, and I haven't also encountered a similar behaviour

This is forgotten as far as I can tell. Dashboard got deprecated so closing.
