When I click on a link with the middle button,
a new tab is created containing the link target.

However, if I have already several tabs opened, the new tab will 
always be added at the right of the other tabs, so it is often
separated from its parent's one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open 3 pages in different tabs of the same window
2.middle-click on a link from the first tab (the one on the left)
3.see where the new tab appears
Actual Results:  
New tabs appear on the right of the tab bar.

Expected Results:  
The new tab should appear next to its parent's tab.

I've been told Galeon has a similar behavior.
