Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 70698

Middle-clicking on a scrollbar of a forum's add-reply window also pastes
previously selcted text in one fell swoop.
There's a scrollbar when quoting someone else's text (when it's more than the
window shows ofcourse). When middle-clicking on the scrollbar to instantly go to
a certain position/line in the window, text previously highlined by the users
gets inserted at the current position.
This can't be a feauture -thank you very much- as it sucks 'cause your quoted
text becomes a sea of text to edit.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Highlight any text anywhere
2.Got to URL (which is a "reply-quoted" window on a forum)
3.Middle-click on the scrollbar (somwhere BELOW the scrollbar-button itself)


Actual Results:  4.Watch your previously highlighted text automagically be
added/pasted to the quoted text...yuck!

Expected Results:  Text shouldn't be added/pasted
