Bug Description

Middle clicking on a window inside the spread should close that window (equivalent action to clicking on the close button).

Apparently the compiz plugin: scaleaddon provides this functionality, it just needs to be switched on by default

John,

It confuses the process and everyone following the bug if we reopen. Please log a new bug if more work still needs doing.

Daniel and John, this bug has not been fixed in Quantal since it had not a FFe.

It's fixed only in proposed-ppa and then it will be in R.

no longer affects: unity/6.0

@vanvugt; it's not that more work needs doing, it is that this bug is not fixed! Middle clicking on a window in the spread in Quantal does nothing, and therefore it is not a case of 'more work needs doing' rather a case of 'this bug has still not been fixed'.

See Treviño's comment above, because of this I think it is appropriate that the bug remains open until the fix lands in 13.04.
