Tabs don't close with middle mouse button

[Tiago Sousa]

When a tab is clicked with the middle mouse button, even if outside the X to close it, for usability/standardization issues, it should be closed.

I am unable to recreate this bug in 8.10 beta. The middle mouse button works as expected when clicking a tab by closing it.

shamusl, this has not been taken care of in the code, but the api for the tabs might have been upgraded in this latest version, taking care of this. The author himself is not able to do it.. Maybe it should be taken care of in the code, so that it would happen equally in any lib version.

Can't see another reason for that to happen, besides an updated API in 8.10..

It works perfectly for me, i don't know if you can recreate this, but I
can't. It has worked for me since 7.10.

I'm still not being able to close the tabs with the middle mouse button, without the need of pressing the closing tab button. Using the trunk and ubuntu 8.10.
