This bug still exists. It has a slightly different implication than those
comments above though:

For example, I load http://www.hutteman.com/weblog/rss.xml
When I middle-click (auto-scroll), all the XML tags disappear and I CANNOT
disable auto-scroll! If I middle click again, nothing happens. I must close
that particular tab and reenable it if I want to scroll through the unformatted
text normally.

This occurs ONLY when the XML document is in a multi-tabbed environment and it
isn't the first tab.

For example, open up a new window and browse to the XML above. The middle-click
will kill the formatting but you will be able to stop auto-scroll by middle
clicking again. However, if you open up a new tab and open the above link and
middle-click, you lose formatting AND you can't stop autoscroll until you kill
the tab.

Quite an annoying bug considering the usefulness of auto-scroll while at the
same time having very sensitive middle mouse buttons nowadays.
