The bugzilla commit completely disabled middle-yank, so yes that appears to be a proposal to change the behavior. It was temporarily reverted with the message "we'll defer this change until the next cycle". The way that's worded, it sounds like it's not just a proposal to do so, it's a decision to do so. According to the record, what we had was a commit that actually eliminated the functionality (by default), followed by _discussion_ (Mathias' word) between Mathias, Allan and Jakup to delay it. The committer certainly considered it a "discussion", that's what he called it. You may disagree with his wording, but I suspect he did in fact post that with a straight face. ________________________________ From: Dave Johansen <davejohan...@gmail.com> To: Ray Morris <webmastersguide2...@yahoo.com> Cc: Allan Day <allanp...@gmail.com>; "desktop-devel-list@gnome.org" <desktop-devel-list@gnome.org> Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2013 2:50 PM Subject: Re: Middle click, "dumbing down" Slashdotted On Tue, Sep 24, 2013 at 12:24 PM, Ray Morris <webmastersguide2...@yahoo.com> wrote: Allan Day <allanp...@gmail.com> said: > >> > I have read discussion of making things easier for new users, the key word >> > "discoverable" >> > is used more than once on the page about the proposal, etc. > >> Which page?

The quick checks I did on the history of that wiki didn't turn up anything about the middle mouse button until last week and that bugzilla has several people begging that the behavior not be changed. I don't see how that can be considered a "proposal" or "discussion" that is viewed as a good motivation for this sort of change. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
