110228 - middle click on tab is broken and unusable

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 107147

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Marcus Bauer]

actual behaviour:
-----------------
1. middle click closes tab
2. _and_ pastes clipboard to active tab


steps to reproduce:
-------------------
1. open three tabs with different urls
2. mark some text or do right mouse click on a link and copy link adress
3. middle click on a tab
-> tab closes _and_ clipboard is loaded as url in active tab

expected behaviour:
-------------------
-tab closes _or_ clipboard is pasted

suggested solution:
-------------------
both are very nice features but not together ;-)
it is very nice to be able to paste s.th. to a tab, so optimal solution would be:
* w/o modifier key middle click should paste (expected behaviour under X)
* w/ modifier key middle click should close tab
