Description Degand Nicolas 2003-05-31 14:26:55 UTC 
Version:           inconnu (using KDE 3.1.2)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-0.16mm-mdk

Tabs should be closed when you middle-click on them, like in Mozilla. And that would enable to get rid of a close tab icon on individual tabs
Comment 1 Thiago Macieira 2003-05-31 14:39:58 UTC 
I don't agree. Middle clicking closes nothing so far in KDE and it wouldn't be 
consistent with the current UI.
Comment 2 Degand Nicolas 2003-05-31 15:53:12 UTC 
Coming from Mozilla, I expecterd this behaviour. I reckon it is not consistent, 
but it would be a definite improvement for the browsing experience, and I 
cannot see problems arising from this UI enhancement.
Comment 3 Thiago Macieira 2003-05-31 15:56:16 UTC 
Well, I have never used tabs in Mozilla and I would find the behaviour strange if I 
accidentally middle-clicked a tab and it closed, while it happens nowhere else in 
KDE. 
 
But, then again, this is not my call. There has been anyways a big discussion about 
the "tab closing problem". If only I remembered what bug report it was...
Comment 4 George Staikos 2003-05-31 16:07:48 UTC 
Sorry this is completely inconsistent with KDE.
Comment 5 Stephan Binner 2003-05-31 18:33:54 UTC 
Dupe of 48417 - only Window versions of Mozilla behave so by default.
Comment 6 Alexander Rødseth 2008-01-30 12:16:52 UTC 
Five years later, closing tabs with the middle mouse button seems to be the norm. 
I also found bug 48417 and bug 82957.

Should I report a new wish, since it doesn't work in Konqueror for KDE 4?
