Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 199058

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[jeremiah johnson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225

middle click on a tab, and the tab does not do as expected (close) - it attempts
to load a new url based on your copy/paste buffer, text clipboard i guess.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. copy arbitrary text
2. open new tab
3. middle click new tab
Actual Results:  
if you got lucky, you'll get www.[whatever-is-in-your-buffer].com, most single
dictionary words are taken.  if you're not lucky you'll get a dialog saying
"www.c as possi.com" could not be found, or something to that effect, which of
course depends on what is in your clipboard.


Expected Results:  
closed the tab.  works fine on windows.  linux's phasers are set to 'annoy' and
they're working perfectly annoyingly. ;)
