Bug Report

Problematic behavior

Middle-clicking on a link on Linux doesn't work.

Expected behavior/code

In Linux, middle-clicking on a link opens it in a new browser tab. (I know left click will do the same thing in this app, but middle-click works on every site, so it's a habit)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a link element by pasting a URL onto label text using Ctrl+V.
  2. On a Linux computer, middle-click on the link.
  3. And then the bug happens: Nothing happens, rather than opening the link in a new tab.

Possible Solution

Adjust click handler to not preventDefault on middle-clicks.
