When I am engaged in autoscroll and attempt to stop autoscrolling by using the
middle mouse button, the browser jumps to google (or whatever is in the
quicksearch bar) and searches for whatever is in my clipboard. Sometimes it
jumps to google and is quickly forwarded to a random webpage.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start autoscrolling by clicking the middle mouse button
2.Click the middle mouse button again after you have scrolled some

Actual Results:  
I was forwarded to this webpage when I middle clicked while autoscrolling.

Expected Results:  
It should quit autoscrolling and remain the current page.
more fun with contentLoadURL and autoscroll!
