Comment #116 on issue 26140 by [email protected]: Chrome Linux single  
click does not select all
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=26140

When it comes to behaviour of the primary selection in relation to Chrome UI
elements, my views are very simple:

1. Selecting something must populate the primary selection... no  
exceptions. No
deviation from of expected behaviours has annoyed me more than when KDE 4  
bugs caused
this kind of thing. The primary selection is already  
minimally-discoverable. Don't
confuse or frustrate people by breaking the expected behaviour of the only  
way to
populate it from the omnibar. (In other words, people have been trained to  
expect
selected=PRIMARY. Even something like "single-click = select, triple-click  
= PRIMARY"
would be confusing at best since people tend not to read documentation.)

2. Middle-clicking a tab must close it. It's the expected behaviour, the  
close
buttons are small and sometimes hidden, and tabs are more like buttons than  
text
fields, so using a behaviour based on "paste" rather than "close" isn't  
only non-
intuitive, but counter-intuitive.
