This reverts commit 6392699316bbdfd027862fa28050cd54253f25d4. ---
Notes: This change addresses two issues:
1. This restores the ability to close a tab by middle-clicking on it. This matches long-supported behaviour of other browsers.
Since when do we follow what other browsers do?
Ok, maybe that wasn't the best way to phrase that. It's not just browsers that support closing a tab by middle-clicking; it is also the standard behaviour in both my IRC client and my graphical text editor (in addition to my other browsers). Dillo having a different default is disorienting in a similar manner (though, admittedly, not to the same severity) as driving a vehicle and discovering that the functions of the pedals are flipped.
2. Right-clicking a tab is now no longer a destructive action. It is common user expectation that right-clicking may produce a contextual menu. This expectation should not result in a lost tab.
Not interested in this patch, not all systems have 3 mouse button, specially old netbooks. If you prefer to use the middle button change the option in dillorc.
