99537 - Middle-clicking on "funding options" link in PayPal executes a paste

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 69882

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Robin Green]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4+) Gecko/20010913
BuildID:    2001091308

On a certain stage of the PayPal paying process there is a "funding options"
link. If you middle-click on this mozilla will execute a paste operation as if
the link wasn't there.

(I can't see what the source of this page is because View Source doesn't work.)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to URL above
2. Create a dummy PayPal account if necessary, or borrow someone else's
3. Enter an amount to donate
4. Click continue until you get to the screen with the "funding options" link.
5. Middle-click on it.

(This will not result in a payment.)

Actual Results:  Goes to an URL I had on the clipboard

Expected Results:  Not sure, but not that!

At a guess, that's not a real link but rather something with an onclick that's
supposed to trigger....

The "Funding Options" 'link' that is mentioned is not really a link, but rather
a form input type=image (graphic text).  The part of the source that is relevant is:

<INPUT TYPE="image" src="/images/funding_options_link.gif" border="0"
NAME="funding_select" VALUE="Funding Options">

A cursory glance at the page's source through lynx doesn't seem to have any
Javascript concerning the graphic.

I am able to repeat the action the original reporter indicates, namely Mozilla
loads in the same window the URL on the clipboard, which is in no way related to
the item middle-clicked.
