Mouse Button 4 should not take the user back to the Discord home page

Dream

After the latest update, Discord has begun taking the user to the Home page after mouse button 4 is pressed. Mouse button 4 is often interpreted as 'Back' (and as such, takes the user back a page in a web browser) but it has never done that in Discord until now.

 

Many people use mouse button 4 as their push to talk key and as such, are taken away from a view of their current server and are forced to Home. This can be very annoying if you have Discord open on an extra monitor with it in focus. 

 

 

Please revert this change.

Thank you!

    I agree, this is an awful change and needs to be reverted right away, all my friends and I use MB3/4 for ptt and this is so annoying when we are posting memes and trying to talk about them.

    for every one person that posts, there are 1.5 billion that are not posting, the whole world does not want this. no mouse button should take you out of your discord channel to ....... discord front page....

    Yeah a revert or option to turn it off would be nice. It's made using PTT pretty obnoxious for me.

    This really grinds my gears, whats more - a lot of my friends are using MB3 or MB4 buttons as push to talk option.
    Please fix this as soon as possible or add some option to turn this off.

    How could they of ever thought this was a good idea? I guess they really want the majority of their users to force home page.

    I agree, this is a completely pointless and unnecessary change.  If someone wants to move around to different text channels or what have you they can just simply move their mouse a whole two inches and change it. . .

    Yes please revert this. Not sure why every time I update this app, some new obnoxious feature that nobody asked for was added.
