It does it it with all mice with scrollwheels - Microsoft and Logitech MX510. I think the problem is I sometimes accidentally double-click the middle button when I mean to click, hold, scroll. If this is because I'm a spas, then so be it. Feature sucks for me. Me = disable. Firefox isn't the root of the problem; I just don't like the X clipboard. Same thing happens when I highlight some text in an xterm and then forget and 100 minutes later paste in 19,000 commands in another via a middle click. Firefox is just particularly egregious because it submits EVERYTHING to the internet. Why in the world would Firefox do an "I Feel Lucky" search on an 8,000 word url? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
