Middle click on a link in a browser also opens the link in a new tab. Middle click on a folder in Nautilus opens the folder in a new tab. etc, etc... Additionally this has become a behaviour that users expect from the Launcher so marking as won't fix. ** Changed in: ayatana-design Status

On the subject of consistency with tabs: the analogy between tabs and launcher items is not straightforward. For starters, a single launcher item can be associated with multiple windows, whereas a single tab is always associated with a single document. Should middle click close all windows? This

Right, I took the liberty of restoring the status to new and adding the "needs-design" tag. (This one obviously needs a design call) However, @lokster, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't middle clicking on Win 7 "superbar" opens a new instance of an app? And there is of course the argument that

I think middle-click should close the app. Why? Because the tabs in many apps work the same way (and also some task managers/docks). Why make something, that works in exactly the opposite way? Also, the "close" function is used much often than the "new instance" feature, and it seems logical to h

Okey, rhythmbox doesn't, so I disproved since there exists at least one app without working middle click (when app is running of course). ;-). I agree. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/91

Every app has a "working middle-click" :) For example an app without the "New window" quicklist is Minitube. And yeah, I agree with the statement that middle click will create all kinds problems if it's set to "Close" instead of "Open new instance", so that's why I should stay "Invalid". We're b

Right, but if the icons to the apps that have "New Window" quiclists get patched and others don't a UX inconsistency appears, middle clicking on the non-quicklisted apps will open new instance and middle clicking on the quicklisted will close them. And apart from introducing inconsistent behavio

Right, all things considered here: To close an app the user can A) Click the "close button" or B) Right click on the launcher and then click on "Quit". To open a new instance of an app the user *must* A) Middle click on the app icon on the launcher. Surely some apps have "New window" in their qui
