Description Thiago Macieira 2013-02-22 22:09:40 UTC
When the option to "Load Clipboard URL" is selected for the middle-click action, Rekonq should use PRIMARY, not CLIPBOARD. That's because middle-click pasting anywhere would paste the contents of PRIMARY, so one would expect it to react like a paste.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure that CLIPBOARD and PRIMARY are not being kept in sync by an external agent (e.g., klipper)
2. Select some text and Ctrl+C
3. Select a URL with the mouse only and do not Ctrl+C it
4. Middle-click somewhere in a webpage in rekonq
Actual Results:  
The text from step 2 is loaded or searched for.

Expected Results:  
The URL from step 3 is loaded.

Make rekonq use the selection (PRIMARY) for MMB clicks

The Selection is what usually gets pasted when one does an MMB click,
so it makes sense to use that as search term or URL to load.

(Thanks, Thiago!)
