[QUOTE="ParadOxymoron, post: 817168, member: 91284"] This is pretty much the first time I've ever had a problem that's really just driving me nuts, without being able to find anything even remotely resembling someone complaining about a similar problem, much less a solution. I'm pretty sure it's not the mouse. No matter [i]what[/i] browser I'm in, or [i]what[/i] I do, the middle click acts like I just hit the F4 button. Command + Left Click still works to open new tabs, as does Command + Middle Click. But I use middle click to open new tabs almost as much as I left click at all, (what can I say, I feel it's essential to browsing forums,) and just about every time I try to do that and the calculator/weather/time/calendar pops up, I die just a little in my soul. I have scoured the system preferences for anything resembling a mouse reset, or middle click settings, or shortcuts, or F$ or function problems that might be the culprit, but they've been as unhelpful as Google. (All "middle click problems" seem to be just people complaining about Firefox, and as I said, it's not the browser, because even if I just middle click on the Desktop, it still makes the things pop up. Anyway, I use Safari, so it matters even less...) Can anyone help me? [/QUOTE]
