211112 - Ctrl+click on a link that spawns a popup, kills the popup and displays a blank tabbed page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 138198

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Shannon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

Steps to reproduce:
1. Hold Ctrl
2. Click on any link that spwans a pop-up

Result:
Pop-up is killed and a blank tabbed page is displayed. (NOTE: this occurs
whether tabbed browsing is enabled or not)

Expected:
I'm not necessarily up on the correct behavior of tabbed browsing, but I would
expect Ctrl+click should either display the pop-up correctly as a tabbed page or
have no affect - unless there is an option in preferences to disable the Ctrl
hotkey.

Underlying Issue: 
Several pop-up killers allow the user to manually override the pop-up kill
behavior w/ Ctrl+click.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hold Ctrl
2. Click on any link that spwans a pop-up


Actual Results:  
Pop-up is killed and a blank tabbed page is displayed. (NOTE: this occurs
whether tabbed browsing is enabled or not)


Expected Results:  
I'm not necessarily up on the correct behavior of tabbed browsing, but I would
expect Ctrl+click should either display the pop-up correctly as a tabbed page or
have no affect - unless there is an option in preferences to disable the Ctrl
hotkey.

Any easy place to reproduce this is cnn.com. Locate a QUICKVOTE box somewhere on
the site, hold Ctrl and click VIEW RESULTS. If tabbed browsing is enabled, a
blank, tabbed page called "Untitled" will display. If tabbed browsing is not
enabled, a blank page is spawned on top of the main page.
