Links open when clicking on Terminal app in Alt+Tab #653

What Happened?

I've noticed opening links is way too easy in the elementary OS Terminal compared to any other terminal emulator I've used before, and the biggest issue is having them open while trying to switch apps with the help of a mouse.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Alt+Tab
  2. Click Terminal (without releasing Mouse1)
  3. Hover over a link if one wasn't already below the cursor (again, without releasing Mouse1)
  4. Release Mouse1
  5. Link is opened

Expected Behavior

The link shouldn't open when selecting an app from Alt+Tab (I tested this with Firefox where the issue isn't present).

Perhaps an option (even just in dconf) to use Ctrl+Mouse1 to open links would help avoiding accidental clicks as well in general as it is the default way in most other terminal emulators?
