When I am reading mail/news in 1.1.18, the header pane scroll indicator can be used to move the view up or down. If I middle click in the scroll region the indicator and display move to that spot. Useful so I can move around. In 2.0.1 the same action opens a tab instead of scrolling. Note: no I am *not* clicking on the article header by accident, that's a useful behavior.

The only way to get the previous behavior is to shift-click, which requires use of both hands, more time, etc.I can't find any benefit at all from this behavior and regard it as a regression from 1.1.xx interface.

I do have middleclick opens in new tab, that's a browser thing, and should not apply to the scrollbar!

Sounds like one for the OS-build Bill.

Middle-click to header-scroll-position works fine in SM-2.*/Linux_64bit (and I also have set middle-click to-open new-tab in background left-click opening tab in foreground.

Interesting, even most bizarre, since if I middle click in the scroll bar it opens the current article in a new tab, with no sidebar. Using the traditional three pane view.

And the odd thing is that it works as expected in the browser, but the mail/news gives me a new tab rather than scroll. Shift-left still gives me scroll, but it's a two hand operation.

I may be particularly dense, but I can't see anything that would kill the header-scrollbar's middle-click cursor function. HTH. Barry.

I must be particularly dense, Bill!

I missed that about:config "middlemouse.scrollbarPosition;true" default setting, even when it's right in front of me!

If it's set to false, I assume middle mouse click won't work the position in the header's scrollbar (any SM scrollbar?)

Happy New Year. Barry.
