            Bug ID: 335758
           Summary: middle click on scroll bar also changes URL
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: konqueror
           Version: 4.12.4
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konq-bugs@kde.org
          Reporter: mw_triad@users.sourceforge.net

Some time ago, the behavior of changing the URL to the selection buffer when
middle clicking in a tab was removed. While I'm not entirely on board with
this, I can understand the logic (presumably, because people did it by accident
too often).

However, there is a loophole where the behavior still exists, where it
unquestionably should not... middle clicking on the scroll bar. Since the
behavior of middle click and scroll bars is well defined to mean 'move the
scroll handle to here', there should be no other effects from this action, and
certainly not navigating to some other page!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any site "big" enough to have a page scroll bar (note: nested scroll
bars, at least for e.g. input fields, don't trigger the behavior).
2. Select some text so that the selection buffer is non-empty.
3. Middle click somewhere on the scroll bar, e.g. to scroll within the page.
Actual Results:  
Page scrolls as expected, very briefly, but then Konqueror navigates to the
"URL" that is in the selection buffer (i.e. the text selected in (2)).

Expected Results:  
Page should scroll, but *no navigation* should occur.
