GNOME 3.12 Behaviour change - wheel mouse button and new instances

Since GNOME 3.12 is out it is no longer possible to create a new application instance on a new workspace like I used to do in 3.10.
Now, on mouse wheel button click, a new instance is launched but on the same workspace.

Is there any way to change that behaviour back?
It's hurting my workflow.

Yes, this is apparently a deliberate change. See http://worldofgnome.org/changes-in-laun … nome-3-12/. Previously you could invoke a new window in the current workspace using ctrl+right_click but now that does the same as middle_click. I actually don't mind them changing middle click but they should have redefined ctrl + right_click to open in a new workspace. We just seem to have lost that function now.
