Middle click should autoscroll by default in windows (IE users expect it), and

but...).

[Kai Lahmann (is there, where MNG is)]

on Windows this is a driver-Option, on Linux evenybody expects middleclick to be
paste (vote for wontfix)

Huh, i know in FireBird there is an optional plugin, but this is pretty basic
functionality for IE users.

Thats only true for traditional unix users. Any user migrating from windows to
linux/unix (I assume this part of the goal of free linux desktop) doesn't expect
middle click to do anything except autoscroll. However I'm not arguing that the
default should be changed. I'm more interested in having a pref so that embeders
of the widget can change the behavior of it without having to implement
autoscroll ourselves.

No, it should be also a pref for Mozilla with default off.
I don't expect this and i hate it.


Please search the next time because this is very easy to find.
