WorksForMe using Chimera/2002100104 on 10.1.5.

Comment 3

[Yonatan Feldman]

apparently this only happens on certain web pages. google being one of them.

with the tab preferences set as listed above try the following:

1) go to http://google.com
2) <command+click> on the "Images" link
3) <command+click> on the "Groups" link

you should end up with 3 tabs. each time you <command+click> it adds a tab with
the target URL but also loads that URL in the tab that has focus. it also loses
all history in the tab with focus so you can't go back either.

Those links on google are not normal links. They execute JS functions.

Comment 5

WONTFIX since the Google links are not real links. Mozilla does the same thing.

Comment 6

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

observed the following using 2003.01.08 on 10.2.3:

* command+clicking the google links loads in the current tab, not a new one
* the session history for the tab isn't lost for me when i use command+click
* selecting "open link in new tab" for these links does open in new tab

gonna mark vrfy'd due to comment 5, though.
