            Bug ID: 482834
           Summary: Middle-clicking a file in dolphin opens with second
                    application for the file mime, breaking default
                    selection operation
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 24.02.0
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

  Target Milestone: ---

My usual usage of middle click in dolphin for files is to select multiple
items, or bring back focus to the dolphin when there's a different active
window (eg, mpv).
This breaks my usual workflow, and forces opening a file while not intending
to.

This usage is brought by:

Is there a way to select what must be performed on middle-click of a file,
maybe in dolphin's settings?
Because this is a very odd & unclear action, from a user's perspective.
This felt like a bug, the first time I noticed it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Middle click a file in dolphin

OBSERVED RESULT
Opens the file on mid click.

EXPECTED RESULT
Select the file on mid click.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
