232244 - middle-click to scroll loads whatever is in copy/paste buffer ("clipboard") as URL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 216899

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Paul Archer]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031202 Firebird/0.7

Middle-clicking on a web page (any page) to scroll (seems to) work properly if
you middle-click and release, then move the mouse. 
But if you middle-click and then drag, then whatever is in the copy/paste buffer
(or alternatively, whatever is highlighted) gets loaded into the location bar as
a URL.
(Seems to be Solaris only. Haven't had the problem with Win2K or Linux.)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy something into copy/paste buffer
2. Middle-click and drag to scroll page
3. Release mouse button

Expected Results:
