Description Daniel Holbach 2006-07-17 09:43:55 UTC 
Forwarded from: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/epiphany-browser/+bug/53150

When one clicks on the "home" button (the one with a house in the toolbar), it displays the home page in the current tab instead of creating a new tab. In epiphany, middle click on a link results in displaying the corresponding page in a new tab.

This behaviour is not consistent with, for example, the "back" button: when one clicks on this latter button using the left mouse button, it goes back one page of the history in the current tab, whereas it does it in a new tab when one uses the middle button of the mouse.

Related to #149715 ?
Comment 2 Daniel Holbach 2006-07-17 10:53:08 UTC 
I'm not sure it's related. This is more about the feature of middle-clicking on buttons. Middle-clicking on the 'Up'-button or 'Back'-Button opens the page in a new tab. This just doesn't work for the 'Home'-button.

Fixed on CVS HEAD.

	* src/ephy-link.c: (ephy_link_flags_from_current_event):

	Check for GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE event type in case of a middle click.
	Fix bug #347750.

Waiting for fix on gnome-2.16.
