108935 - new TAB stealing focus

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

Hey guys a few versions ago mozilla´s new funcionality, i.e., the TABS, was
working perfectly.  You right click a link and choose OPEN IN NEW TAB, and the
new tab opens and loads the URL you choose WITHOUT STEALING THE FOCUS!!!  Now
you do the same thing and you are automatically moved to see what is loading on
the new tab you created...  

Now it sucks!  Better the old way!!!! PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

thanks.

I can verify this.  I would not say that it sucks, because tabs is the best MDI
for browsing I've seen.  There should be an option not to steal focus when "Open
in New Tab" is selected from the secondary menu.  It disrupts concentration and
also sometimes makes rendering happen again.

I think of tabs often as Here is a page that I want to read, but let me finish
this one first to see if something is more worth reading.  It is great for
searching google (because the sidebar search is inferior to normal browsing.)

I did not said TABS SUCKS... I say STEALING FOCUS sucks!
Tabs are a expectacular idea that probably Microcrap will copy and say it´s an
original Idea...

WOW! GREAT!  In preferences is there really a LOAD LINKS IN BG.
Now it solved the problem.  But... I discovered another one...
on preferences you can read...
CONTROL ENTER in the URL toolbar... in fact this is not working...
If you mark this box then SHIFT ENTER will do the job, not CONTROL-ENTER.

So, I will open a new bug for that...
