Not sure if this is a bug or expected behavior for Nautilus now.
Can confirm that the middle-mouse button does open a file with a single click.
Both the left or middle mouse buttons can drag and drop a file by moving the
file, not copying the file. No option appears to select which method to use.
** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed

Title:
Middle click down opens file
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Ubuntu 18.08 here.
In Ubuntu 16.04 I could middle click on a file in Nautilus then drag
and drop it to another folder. After that a small dialog appeared if I
want to copy or move the file.
Now when I press middle click on a file, the file opens immediately
and although I can move it to another folder, there's no choice if I
want to copy or move the file.
