[Question #255668]: Middle-clicking on an internal link seems not working (v. 0.4.10)

Hi. I'm using qpdf version 0.4.10. I found that when in the Main View the mouse pointer is on an internal link (clearly indicated by the mouse pointer's shape), if I do middle-click the same mouse pointer turns its shape to a cross (therefore indicating to be entered in zoom-to-selection mode) and no new tab gets opened to show the linked page. It looks like an internal link is not treated specially when the  middle mouse button is clicked. Left-clicking on an internal link works correctly instead (the view jumps to the linked page).

It's very hard for me to imagine that a feature like the "follow link on middle-click" one could be really buggy, therefore I'm wondering whether there could be some more or less hidden configuration that I missed. I tried qpdf 0.4.10 both in CentOS 6.5 and Ubuntu 14.10 with the same results. Any idea?

By the way, having a context-menu item like "Open Link in New Tab", active when the mouse pointer is on an internale link, would help in a situation like this. Just a suggestion for a next litlle improvement.

Thanks for your help and for you great work.

Gianni
