Ah you're a genius. Fixed. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Sorry - that should have been "right to left"

Hiya

For years now (3 different laptops, 3 different versions of Ubuntu), I've had this really weird problem with Opera:

If I make a delicate (1cm)(left to right) swipe on the trackpad scrollbar, it spontaneously abandons the current page, and searches (google) for whatever is in the clipboard.

Drives me insane - it happens about 50 times a day. Disabling mouse gestures doesn't make a difference... I've just spent a couple of hours trying to catch it as a jquery event... not having a lot of luck there either.

Any ideas on how to stop this?
