Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/15924

State: closed
Merged: Yes

Summary of the Pull Request

This commit fixes the middle mouse button handler. The PointerReleased callback is registered, but it is not operational because, on the Release event, the mouse button is no longer pressed. We need to track its state and act accordingly.

Issue was introduced by commit 05e7ea1423, which changed the event handler from PointerPressed to PointerReleased, rendering it inoperative. Instead, the default handler is used. The main issue is that when the close button is hidden with the showCloseButton option, the default handler no longer closes the tab on middle mouse clicks.

Also made it consistent with the Settings tab, which was never converted to PointerReleased and is still handled with a custom handler.
