When clicking a link that pops up a separate window, thge browser's built-in
pop-up blocker blocks this function.

Reproducible: Always

2.
3.

Actual Results:  
nothing.  Browser gives no indication that a window should have popped up.

Allowed the window to pop up.  If a user vluntarily clicks it, chances are, it
is NOT a pop-up ad, and therefore should not be blocked.
