1) What version do you use.

2) Please provide exact steps to reproduce.

Right-click on a link opens that in a new window.

Um.. there is no "open in new window" in the context menu of the URLbar...  What
are you middle-clicking exactly?

0.9.9 on linux.  Maybe "url bar" doesn't mean what I think it means -- I'm
talking about the magic toolbar dingus that is generated from the "Personal
Toolbar Folder" bookmarks category.  When you click right on one of the things
in there, you get a context menu, that includes "open in new window."  When you
click middle, nothing happens.

Ah. That would be the "Personal Toolbar".  And the bug everyone wants fixed on
it is "Modifier- and middle-click on PT items should behave like links (personal
toolbar)"  :)

Thanks for the clarification, Jamie.

Aha, sorry for the terminology mixup.
So, dumb question, but what's a "url bar"?  Is that the url combo box?

Yeah.  That's the place where one enters a URL to go to it....

The component descriptions could really use work.  :)
