Bug Description

If you paste in a hyperlink from an external source using the middle mouse button, with the mouse cursor positioned over the space where the hyperlink text will appear, it causes the hyperlink to be activated and loaded in the browser.

Perhaps the hyperlink triggering code needs to be smarter at excluding events from the middle mouse button or something?

It doesn't appear to happen if you are pasting via ctrl+v or the paste command from the context menu. But then, in this case it doesn't automatically create a hyperlink either.

(I think there might be a deeper bug here too, because once I got gtg in a state where it continually launched the url into firefox over and over again endlessly. Unfortunately I don't know how to re-trigger that situation and it only occurred the one instance.)

I also notice that the hyperlink text does not appear in the task when this happens.

I have created a patch for this bug.
Link will open only if you will click on it with left mouse button (button == 1).
