SmnkyLst: Crash During Online Editing, Browser Webpage Redirected

Random operation drove me nuts. But it became more often the norm & crashed online document editing!

Problem: The Seamonkey browser attempted to load a non-existent webpage, using prior captured text, any word or phrase. This caused trouble & interrupted any process, especially when entering data or editing a file online.

Using a laptop computer with track-point & middle button it is possible to scroll up & down in webpage documents. But this triggered a crash in edit mode online, editing a text file in a webpage - proofreading in this case. Every time the middle button was pressed to grasp the page & move it with the track-point up or down, the possibility of & often a crash occurred, & the browser went most anyplace based on prior captured text in the buffer. Even www.about.blank.com became a new webpage.

Just pressing the middle track-point button often sent the browser to a fake webpage.

In About.Config, I discovered the problem. 2 items set to default as "true":

middlemouse.contentLoadURL      true

middlemouse.paste               true

I changed/reset them to false, & the problem ended. I believe default should be "false" to prevent the problem.

This never happened before. Has something changed in an update, a default changed, another entry altered the basic operation of Seamonkey?

Is this a Bug?
Should it be reported?
Can I set, should I set, something else to end the problem?
Is my change going to cause another problem?

Any warnings, thoughts, or ideas?
