From an older thread in this ML, that behaviour can be reverted to the old way by adding this line to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini:
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=false

Yes, I remember that thread. And I don't really think this is a valid answer. If Gnome wants to change decades-old UI paradigms, the proper way to do that was to add a setting that must be explicitly adjusted in order to get the new behavior. So that everyone who feels like they want to swap what their mouse buttons do can easily change that. Not to make the new behavior the default and pull the rug out from everyone's feet; and make everyone who prefers the existing behavior to go and figure out some undocumented settings.

And I just checked, I don't even have this settings.ini file in the first place.

$ pwd
/home/mrsam/.config/gtk-3.0
$ ls -al
total 16
drwx------.  2 mrsam mrsam 4096 Jan  2 10:43 .
drwxr-xr-x. 28 mrsam mrsam 4096 Mar 13 14:21 ..

So, there isn't even the "well, here's the config file with every settings documented in it" excuse, to fall back on.

Two years ago all of my desktops were Gnome, like they've been for the previous ~15 years. They're now XFCE. Sadly, I still have to deal with Gnome's idiocy shining through the applications that use gtk.
