(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[kevinar18]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040608 Firefox/0.8.0+

I you click on a link with a target="_blank" while the page is loading, the
pop-up blocker will prevent the link from opening in a new window.  Since these
type of links are initiated by the user, the pop-up blocker probably should not
block them.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://rcswww.urz.tu-dresden.de/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/s1857962/index.pl?2
2. Before the page is done loading, click on a link.

Actual Results:  
The pop-up blocker prevents the link from opening.

Expected Results:  
The pop-up blocker should allow the window to open (or the link to work based on
user settings).
