Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

I have configured my Logitech wheel mouse so that a click on the wheel performs
the "back" command in a browser.
Now, I had clicked some links and wanted to go back, but got the idea that I'd
like to see the previous web page in a new tab. 
What I did was hitting the Ctrl key (to open in new tab) and then clicking the
mouse wheel button.

This actually got me a blue screen, unexpected kernel trap, and reboot.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open browser - go to any web page.
2. Click on link to go deeper into a page.
3. Press Ctrl and then click mouse button (theory: let previous page get opened
in a new tab)
Condition: you have a wheel mouse where wheel-button-press is set to "back".

Actual Results:  
Blue screen saying "Unexpected kernel trap", reboot.

Expected Results:  
Preferably open previous page in new tab; else just open previous page.

Logitech wheel mouse on PS/2 port. Mouse driver: 9.70.
Microsoft Windows 2000 5.00.2195 SP4.

a BSOD (Blue Screen of death) is never caused by Mozilla, it's always a driver
bug because Mozilla runs in the user space and can't cause that. It can only
trigger such a bug in a kernel mode driver.

-> invalid
