Unwanted google search shortcut
Hello, whenever I press the middle mouse button (which can happen easily as I use a 2 button touchpad and sometimes press them both when I try to use it to go back/forward) I am treated to a google search of a piece of random text (often very long), that may have never been highlighted or copied to clipboard or had anything done to it other than at one point being present on a loaded page on one of my tabs. This shortcut does not appear on the "mouse" section of the "shortcuts" preferences, and even persists with middle click option disabled. Help?Specs:
Version: 11.62
Build: 1347
Platform: Linux (Kubuntu)
System: i686, 3.0.0-17-generic
Did you press the button "Options for middle mouse button" (or something like that, translated from german) or just search in the shortcuts?
Clear the setting: PageBar Open URL On MiddleClick

Unfortunately that Pagebar option does only apply to the pagebar. Using middle-click options to choose Panning (scrolling) would solve the problem of middle-clicking elsewhere.
Zombie has the better answer, though you can also reach middle-click options through Preferences > Advanced > Shortcuts (which Schemestrom was referring to), though if you've also accidentally middle-clicked on the Pagebar you may want to include Pesala's suggestion. The alternative is to disable the center button emulation in Xwindows, but that would disable it in other programs you might currently be using it in.
