Bug Description

Ubuntu release: 12.10

chromium-browser version: 25.0.1364.160-0ubuntu0.12.1

Expected: Consider this bit of HTML:

<html>
<body onpaste="alert('Hi');">
<a href="http://google.com/">Google</a>
</body>
</html>

Middle-clicking the link to Google should open the link in a new tab, but not trigger the onpaste event.

Observed: Middle-clicking the link opens the link in a new tab, but does trigger the onpaste event. The same is true on any page with a body onpaste handler.

See also https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=22810, which was fixed in 2009 and is not present in the 22.0.1229.94~r161065-0ubuntu1 package.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Chromium since that time.

The upstream bug report was closed in 2015 as the issue could not be confirmed. Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using currently supported versions of Chromium and Ubuntu?

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
