That cannot be correct. Both kwebkitpart and khtml should behave the so long as
Konqueror's "Middle click opens url in selection" setting found under
"Settings->WebBrowsing" is checked. The only difference should occur if that
option is left off (unchecked) in which case kwebkitpart should not respond to
middle clicks at all. In other words, the "move mouse vertically to scroll on
middle click" feature is not yet implemented in kwebkitpart. However, your
description here make it seem that kwebkitpart will always navigate to or
search for content from the clipboard whenever the MMB is clicked. If this is
not the case, please elaborate on how to duplicate the issue...

As far as the other missing functionality. It is on the TODO list along with
the "Smooth Scroll" functionality.
