130249 - problem with middle mouse button on tabs

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 107147

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Jos.vandenOever]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020310
BuildID:    2002031008

when clicking with the middle mouse button on a tab, it closes.
This is very convenient!
However, the contents of the clipboard is also used as the location for the next
url in the tab that's current after the clicked tab has been removed.
This is probably not the intended behaviour. The middle mouse button signal
should not be relayed to the next current tab.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open multiple tabbed web pages
2.select some text, so it's in the clipboard
3.middle click on a tab

Actual Results:  the clicked tab is removed (good)
and the browser tries to use the contents of the clipboard as a new url

Expected Results:  just close the clicked tab

personally i use this one in prefs.js to avoid middle-mouse click load anything:
user_pref("middlemouse.contentLoadURL", false);
