Comment 53 for bug 62071

version 1.5.0.9 (20070104)It does indeed still happen, though it hasn't
been hard to avoid, probably because my email compositions tend to be
short. I'll just demonstrate here in this email, by opening the About
Thunderbird dialog and selecting the version number. OK, now I'll
middle click the scrollbar in this compose window:

Instead of jumping, it pasted the text you see at the very start of my
message. I'll just leave it there for you to wonder at until you read this.

Middle clicking on the *thumb* does not cause the problem, I must middle
click above or below the thumb.

I'll try to be useful and quickly check other apps:
- emacs: has no such problem (not surprisingly perhaps)
- gedit: no problem
- GNOME Terminal 2.14.2: no problem

Now I'll see if this can be replicated in Firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U;
Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.9) Gecko/20070126 Ubuntu/dapper-security
Firefox/1.5.0.9). I got to a website that required a login, gave the
login textfield the focus, selected text from another app, then middle
clicked the scrollbar. No problem.

Appears to be confined to some recent versions of Thunderbird and
perhaps to just ME. I hope this is helpful. I'm willing to do all I can.
