This is an unfortunate non-solution to the middle-click problem. As a long-time linux user, middle clicking to paste the current text buffer is an important UI feature that is now broken in Obsidian. I can not over-stress how important the middle-click-to-paste feature is to me when working with text files on Linux.
As an aside, the current version doesn’t even fix the only middle-click related issue that I had with Obsidian 1.0 - using middle click to close a tab still pastes texts from my buffer into the open document as described in Linux middle-click paste is problematic and needs to be automatically disabled - #20 by mleduc
My sincere hope is that this change will be reverted very soon and the Obsidian editor will once again behave like a native linux application with regard to the middle click.
