Middle click changed behavior after update?
hello..
I don't know if anyone else has noticed,but I believe the middle-click (wheel click) has changed behavior on the taskbar.
When I used to middle-click on an icon (e.g. Internet Explorer) that's pinned on the taskbar, it used to pop up a new window.
Now whenever I do this, it brings me the alt-tab window selection.
I suspect it happened after some update.
Anyone else confirms?
If so, it sucks!

Never mind, I figured it out.
It WAS after an update, but the update has to do with IntelliMouse. It adds custom settings on the mouse wheel functions.  | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number ENIAC

Middle-clicking on the preview pane, closes each open window instance. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number ENIAC
