Hi!

Konqueror used to open links and close tabs with a middle click on my system.
Recently this does not work anymore in Konqueror, but in other apps like Dolphin it does work fine.
I already tried to remove my konquerorrc but this didn't help at all.

The strange thing now is that, if I open the Konqueror settings dialog and let it opened, I can use the middle mouse button on links and close tabs with it.
Also if I start Konqueror in a fluxbox session, the middle clicks work too...

I use Arch Linux with (the vanilla, not KDEmod) KDE 4.2.2, Kernel 2.6.29.1 and Xorg-Server 1.6.0.

Can anybody help me with this strange problem?

Thank you:-)

Can you please verify that ( in the session where it does not work ) that Konqueror > Settings > Configure Konqueror > Web Browsing > Mouse Behaviour > Middle click opens URL in selection is enabled?

thanks for the reply

yes, checkbox is checked (I also unchecked it clicked on apply and checked it again, just to make sure), but the problem is still there...

another thing I noticed:

If I middle click on an empty space in konqueror, "autoscroll" is not "activated" (I hope you get what I mean)

thanks

I have the same problem using konqueror 4.2.2.
The middle mouse button does't work, I can't even copy selections with it.
It works well in others applications.

Since at least 3 other people have similar problems, I opened a bug report about it:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190559

I cannot reproduce on my Trunk installation, running Qt 4.5.1.

My report was a dupe of http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189761
According to this report, it may be some problem with X-Server 1.6.x.

If you disable the Konqueror gestures, the middle mouse button works again
