Hey Mike, 

As someone without a middle mouse button, i dunno!

I'm marking it 'uiwanted' and we will get an answer soon, though it's safe to say we can't get anything done for 62.

I can confirm the issue but it does not seem important enough to address.
The functionality is correct: the search keyword you click is added in the address bar.
The glitch is only visual and clicking on a topsite with the mouse wheels seems like an accidental action not an intended one.
