Description Ryosuke Niwa 2013-07-15 21:34:19 PDT 
Consider merging https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/3df333dde854facbf7253312181db1d399249569

Fix for pasting content into a text area when middle clicking on a link in Linux which has an event handler that focuses a textarea.

When adding the unified version of middle mouse button pres in rev 129750 a bug was introduced that also pasted the text from
the clipboard in a focused input field when clicking on a link with the middle mouse button, if the link focused an input field in its click event handler.

The patch is slightly wrong since it removes the GTK+ codepath, but I guess it makes sense.

Blink only targets Chromium, so I removed the GTK+ codepath there.  I wouldn't merge that part to WebKit.
