Public bug reported:
Pressing the "back" button ("<" symbol) with the middle mouse wheel
opens a new tab in the file explorer (as expected), but also switches to
another window as if "alt+tab" was pressed. This is a conflict between
nautilus (possibly the shortcuts?) and how ubuntu uses the tab key to
navigate between windows.
