Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 78510

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

I've looked around to see if this has been reported, but nothing quite matches
what I see. I only see this on my mac; my pc does not have he same problem and I
cannot report on any other platforms.

When opening a link using the context option "Open Link in New Tab" or "Open
Link in New Window", the link does not become "visited" until I refresh the
page. I use this technique with search results and can never tell which link I
was just at until I refresh the page.

Obviously this is not a showstopper or even a serious bug. Just a tiny little
thing that I would love to see work as well as it does on the PC side.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. right click on link
2. "Open Link in New Tab" or "Open Link in New Window"


Actual Results:  
the link clicked does not become "visited" till after refresh

Expected Results:  
the link to become automatically "visited"
