Mozilla Firefox and the middle mouse button
Authored by: octo on Apr 05, '05 01:32:54PM

Interesting. Following your comment, I decided to check the latest CVS code and change info. It appears that not too long ago, someone else got frustrated with this problem and made essentially the same source hack as I did. It works in an almost identical way, but is better integrated/coded, since the person who did it probably knows the relevant API and codebases (while this was my first look at them).

In any case, hopefully the next release of Firefox will have this official version of the kludge in it, and my kludge won't be needed past 1.0.2.

This fix has been known and existed for a long time, but due to politics and a lack of contact points the authors were actually unable to get it included in the source tree. For over a year.

I read the bug a long time ago (can't remember what it is now). It was a really interesting insight into how things can get lost in a large project.

Looks like they finally put the change in!
