Description Domenico De Felice 2006-08-31 07:58:49 UTC 
In Evince, by default, the middle mouse button is used to move the page around. This causes problems when the page you are reading contains a lot of links since middle mouse button also opens links.
If I click on a link with middle button to move the page around, the page moves around and at the same time the link opens.. but I only wanted to move the page.
Since you can open links with the left button I think middle button can be disabled for this function..

Confirm. It's quite easy to fix, unfortunately we are now in hard code freeze, so we have to wait after branch to apply it. Attached a trivial fix as a reminder.
