I am trying to figure out to turn off the function behind middle mouse button which inserts whatever text I have copied before into the document I click with that button. As the button of my mouse is quite sensitive I constantly insert text into my documents by accident when scrolling. I tried finding a solution in the unity-tweak-tool (0.0.7ubuntu2), but it appears not to have any setting to that. I found though a function for that in the gnome-tweak-tool (3.18.1-1) under keyboard and mouse > Insert by click with the middle mouse button. It just works sometimes and updates seem to revert this functionality. With sometimes I mean that some program react on turning off the insert functionality by it like gedit and others don't like the Chrome browser.
Is there any way to permanently turn of this text insert functionality of the middle mouse button?
