Doesn't work for me using build 2002112008.

Fortunately, I use a logitech mouse and so can use the logitech control centre
in the preferences to configure the middle mouse to send a cmd-middle click
which does open a separate tab.

Still WorksForMe using Chimera/2002112204. Hardware-specific?

What h/w are *you* using?

I was using a PowerBook G4/800 DVI, with Logitech Mouseman Optical. That's the
only Mac h/w I can try, w/o moving h/w around.

Also tried a different mouse (SGI M-UD43).
