Description Bronson 2021-10-16 21:21:54 UTC
SUMMARY
I have several web apps that rely on middle mouse for panning and navigation. However it always pastes my clipboard into the app. This is a real nightmare as it pastes in confidential information or whatever you have in the clipboard. Figma (https://www.figma.com/) is a prime example of this.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Middle mouse text field, notice it pastes.


OBSERVED RESULT
Paste on middle mouse.

EXPECTED RESULT
A way to not paste, just middle click.

The same issue occurs under wayland. Middle click pastes in all applications with no option to disable it.
