One unofficial distribution using electron 3 today is Arch Linux: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/61047
Thanks a lot, @VarNepvius! Verified that this fixes the issue on a build of Atom on Electron 3 and it also doesn't have any negative side effects on Atom 1.34.0 stable.
Description of the Problem
When using Atom with Electron 3, a middle click does not close a tab. This happens, because Electron 3 is based on a Chrome version >= 55. Since then, Chrome changed how click events work. Non-primary clicks now fire the event
auxclick
rather thanclick
.See https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/10/auxclick and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/auxclick for more information on the event.
Description of the Change
This PR adds the
onClick
handler of TabBarView also as listener to theauxclick
event.Alternate Designs
None
Benefits
The change fixes the problem for Electron 3 while it does have no effect in Electron 2, since the
auxclick
event never fires in this version.This helps with a future migration of Atom to Electron 3 and fixes the issue for unofficial distributions using Electron 3 now.
