210419 - Ctrl-Click/Middle-Click in toolbar/sidebar should open a new tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 72361

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

Description

[Don Garrett]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030615
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030615

I the preference enabled to open new tabs when a link is clicked with a
Middle-Click, or Ctrl-Click. I would have expected this feature should also
apply to links in the personal toolbar, or in the sidebar. That doesn't seem to
be the case.

I've checked with Mozilla 1.3.1, a recent 1.5 build, on Windows and Linux.

PS:

Tabbed browsing has really been great! This has been the only thing I find
awkward about it. I repeatedly keep finding myself trying to do this and not
understanding why it isn't working until after I stop and think about it again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable Middle-Click feature under 'Tabbed Browsing' in Preferences.
2. Create a link of any kind in the personal toolbar.
3. Middle click on the link.

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
Open the link in a new tab.
