That's horrible. I just complained about the lack of middle-click-open-url functionality (which, I remind you again, has been a feature of Unix/X11 browsers since the beginning of time), and now I find it's a disabled-by-default hidden feature implemented wrong. There should be no new tab. It should be on by default. And no, I simply can not believe that someone would CLICK the scroll wheel when they meant to roll it. Geez, what's wrong with your mouse? Someone take a hammer to it in the past? -- Osma Ahvenlampi <oa@iki.fi>
