At http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/, if you middle click to bring up a new tab,
then that link will open in the tab as expected.  However, it will also follow
to the link as if it had been clicked regularly too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/
2.Open "STi Information Forum" or any sub forum, as a new tab.
3.

Actual Results:  
The link opens in a new tab, and in the parent window.

Expected Results:  
Just open in the tab.

This behaviour did not occur in older versions of the app.
Also happens for me on this same page using 1.2.1 and Win2K.  However, I looked
at the source, and the table element containing the link has the following property:
onClick="window.location.href='forumdisplay.php?s=15336117a891aa4d6ea91f0767d0b008&forumid=83'"
Looks like the java script that is doing it and not the fault of the browser.
Work for me with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b)
Gecko/20030129, no new windows at all.
I believe this is fixed in the latest nightlies. WFM 2003013104, Windows 98. 

Reporter, please download the latest nightly build, install it, and try it
again. Alternatively, wait for a few days and download and install Mozilla 1.3
beta when it becomes available. Does that fix the problem?
