Comment 5 for bug 887139

Ingo, you are indeed correct that behaviour of similar features should likewise be similar, and the subject of inconsistency is very much covered by the paper cuts project. I use a laptop with a trackpad so have never noticed any middle-click behaviour. I guess you learn something new every day :)

As for discussions about Unity features, there are a few places this can be done. You can forward bug reports to unity both in Ubuntu and the upstream package, and there is the Ayatana Design project, which handles design work for the various Ayatana projects, which can be foud here https://launchpad.net/ayatana-design.

Given how prominent in the Ubuntu landscape Unity is at the moment, it's going to be deluged with bug reports, and given that the upstream project is currently sitting at over 2200 open bugs, it's likely that your reports may get lost in all the noise. The best place to discuss the features of Unity is on the Ayatana mailing list, which you can join by joining the Ayatana team here on Launchpad (https://launchpad.net/~ayatana) and then joining the mailing list which you can do in the bottom left of the team page.
