Tomboy note closes when middle-clicking on a hyperlink

[Melissa Draper]

Binary package hint: tomboy

When using middle-click to attempt to paste into a hyperlink, Tomboy closes the note. It appears to be doing so to open the hyperlink in its place.

When the hyperlink is a tomboy note-link, it closes the clicked note and opens the linked note.

When the hyperlink is a URL, the tomboy note closes, and a URL is attempted in the default web browser

Reasoning: The above described behaviour is an annoyance to those who have become accustomed to using middle-click for highlight-buffer pasting in a text-editor scenario. Additionally, IMHO there is no need to close the note in this process.

To replicate:

1. Create a note in Tomboy.

2. Enter a note-link or URL.

3. Use the middle button on a mouse (or I presume equivalent action), to click on the URL.

Occurs in both 0.4.1 (edgy) and 0.6.0 (feisty)

I'm not a dev, but I guess that's intended behaviour. It mimics how nautilus behaves, and I have to say that it's quite useful to me.

Yeah, this is obviously intended behaviour, it's the same as spatial nautilus' behaviour. I'll leave it up to a dev whether to reject it or not, though.

A toggle option might be an appropriate compromise?

It is the expected behavior, closing this for now. Feel free to report a new one upstream asking for a toggle or a gconf key for it, thanks in advance.
