Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Click the 'create new tab' little square button next to your open tabs with middle mouse button (scroll button). 2. It will dump '3' into the address bar and hit 'enter' on my sistem 3. Then it will google '3' and display the results. What is the expected behavior? This button click shout be ignored. What went wrong? It seems to me that this is undefined behavior and this '3' comes out of nowhere. It is something that you can do by mistake and perhaps you'd be leaking information about yourself. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 62.0.3202.94 Channel: stable OS Version: Ubuntu 16 Flash Version: Not flash related I'm not too worried about this but I decided to report it anyway :)

Able to reproduce the issue on reported chrome version 62.0.3202.94 and on the latest stable 63.0.3239.84 using Ubuntu 14.04. As the issue is seen from M(50) 50.0.2661.0 considering it as non-regression and marking it as Untriaged. This issue is specific to Linux.

(Any changes to this won't reach version 62, so I'm removing that label.) Thank you for filing this bug, I think you discovered a Linux-specific Chrome shortcut that I haven't known yet but I will use it! Apparently, the middle click on the new tab square acts like a middle click (+ Enter) into an empty omnibox. So if you have something in your X/DE clipboard, it will open a tab with that content. That means, if you select for example this text with your mouse: "Dogs with glasses" and then middle click on the new tab square, it will show you pictures of dogs with glasses. If you have an empty clipboard (e.g. select a single whitespace " " with your mouse) then the middle click won't do anything - just like you wished. If the "select and middle-click to paste" function doesn't work for you reliably (e.g. caused by separate X/DE clipboards), you can either sync it like suggested here [1], or disable the feature completely [2]. In either case, this seems like it's working very much as intended and we would upset others by removing that so I will mark it "WontFix". If you think this feature should be removed, feel free to reopen the bug and we can start a discussion - ideally though, start a new one because the behavior is definitely not "Undefined" :) [1] https://askubuntu.com/questions/167570/how-does-middle-click-paste-work [2] Google that. The many, many solutions differ by window managers and OS and I don't want to point you to a useless one. |
