I guess that the problem here isn't Windows 7, but that you have some extra
mouse or touchpad software installed which tries to do something 'helpful'
like scrolling the window, rather than sending button press/release events
when the middle button is clicked.
(I don't have anything mentioning "auto scroll" in the control panel mouse
applet on W7)
You need to turn off, uninstall or instruct that software to pass middle
button clicks to the X server without meddling.
