Bug Description

Problem:
It seems when scrolling (using the arrows on the scroll bar), and double clicking (to scroll 2 lines), Midori opens a new tab, instead of scrolling up, down, left or right.

Specs:
OS = Windows 7,
Netbook Asus EeePC 1015c (1.66Ghz Intel Atom processor, with upgraded 2GB of RAM, and 64GB SSD)
Midori v 0.5.8

This happens when clicking twice on the scroll bar, scroll bar empty space, or scroll bar arrows. It makes scrolling down a large page rather obnoxious.

...and for some reason, Midori 0.5.9 crashed when I hit CTRL-N for a new window to go to "about:version". Can't reproduce it a second time, though.
