Useful so I can move around. In 2.0.1 the same action opens a tab
instead of scrolling. Note: no I am *not* clicking on the article
header by accident, that's a useful behavior.
The only way to get the previous behavior is to shift-click, which
requires use of both hands, more time, etc.I can't find any benefit
at all from this behavior and regard it as a regression from 1.1.xx
interface.
I do have middleclick opens in new tab, that's a browser thing, and
should not apply to the scrollbar!
Sounds like one for the OS-build Bill.
Middle-click to header-scroll-position works fine in
SM-2.*/Linux_64bit (and I also have set middle-click to-open new-tab
in background left-click opening tab in foreground.
Interesting, even most bizarre, since if I middle click in the scroll
bar it opens the current article in a new tab, with no sidebar. Using
the traditional three pane view.
And the odd thing is that it works as expected in the browser, but the
mail/news gives me a new tab rather than scroll. Shift-left still
gives me scroll, but it's a two hand operation.
Thanks for that Shift-left one Bill. I was wondering about that
left-click mouse only scrolling the headers 6-lines towards the
cursor-position (same as Preferences/Advanced Mouse wheel
vertical-scrolling setting), but my Shift-left does also
correctly-scroll the headers to the exact cursor-position in the
scrollbar, just as my middle-click does.
Middle-click in the Subject: opens the article in a new messaging-tab in
the background, whereas left-click opens the article in a new-tab in the
foreground-focus.
Middle-click in the News-Feed articles Website-header-line: opens the
article-web-page in the browser background-tab, with the left-click
opening it in the browser foreground-tab-focus.
I tested Preferences / Mail & Newsgroups / Message Display / General /
When opening messages, display them in: a new window (I normally-use the
alternate "An existing message window" option), but even with a
SeaMonkey-restart, middle-click still goes to the exact cursor position
in the header-scrollbar (Not opening in either a new-tab or a
new-window). So, the Messages-settings "new-message-window" does nothing
for this function.
I just checked "tab" in the about:config, and I have nothing that is
even remotely connected to messaging tabs or mailnews tabs, ~~ in-fact,
I have nothing concerning mailnews-tabs, much-less something that would
interact-with/override the mouse-controls.
In "about:config", the only settings for "tab" in any shape or form, are
specifically browser-settings (or extensions/functions within the
browser, such as scrapbook and sidebar).

I'm guessing the difference is somehow OS-related within the new
messaging-tabs, but just in case:-
My settings for the Preferences / Browser / Tabbed Browsing (the only
tab focus/function controls openly accessible) are--
Tab Display:
all deselected except the selected "Warn me when closing a window with
multiple tabs".
When opening a bookmark group:
all deselected except the selected "Add tabs".
Open tabs instead of windows for:
all deselected except the selected "Middle-click, Ctrl+click or
Ctrl+Enter on links in a Web page".
Link open behaviour:
all deselected except the selected "A new tab in the current window".
Links from other applications":
all deselected except the selected "A new tab in the current window".

These are the only about:config "tab" highlighted bold preferences that
are non-default (that I have changed via the Preferences panel)
user_pref("browser.tabs.autoHide", false);
user_pref("browser.tabs.loadGroup", 0);
user_pref("browser.tabs.loadInBackground", true);
user_pref("browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick", true);
user_pref("browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOther", false);
These are the only about:config "mousewheel" highlighted bold
preferences that are non-default (that I have changed via the
Preferences panel)
mousewheel.horizscroll.withaltkey.sysnumlines;true
mousewheel.withaltkey.action;0
mousewheel.withaltkey.sysnumlines;true
mousewheel.withshiftkey.action;5

These are the only about:config "scrollbar" preferences (All are still
set to default):-
dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars;false
layout.scrollbar.side;0

I may be particularly dense, but I can't see anything that would kill
the header-scrollbar's middle-click cursor function. HTH. Barry.
Yes, the problem is that "middlemouse.scrollbarPosition;true" doesn't work,
middle clicking in the news/mail scrollbar positions nothing and opens a tab.
The perfect bad behavior, I don't get the scroll, I do get a copy of an article
I didn't want to see.
But since people assure me that's intended behavior it can't be a bug, can it.
