1396036 - Middle-clicking in Print Preview opens links from underlying page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 127909

(Core :: Print Preview, defect, P3)

Description

[Botond Ballo [:botond]]

STR:
  1. Load https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
     (chosen because it has a lot of links)
  2. Enter Print Preview mode
  3. Middle-click around on the Print Preview page several times
     in different locations.
  4. Close Print Preview mode

Expected results:

  Since there are no links shown in Print Preview mode, no new
  tabs have been opened as a result of the middle-clicking.

Actual results:

  Some of the middle-clicks caused new tabs to open. It appears
  as if the middle-clicks go through to the real page which is
  "under" the Print Preview page, and are handled there.

Botond, isn't this due to the links still being active in the print preview document to a certain extent? I.e. bug 127909? Print preview is implemented by opening a new tab and then hiding all the normal browser UI, so there shouldn't be an "original document underneath".

You're right, on closer inspection the opened links correspond to the text that was clicked on the preview page itself, not the corresponding position on the original page. I guess that makes this a duplicate of bug 127909.
